[QUOTE="sf340flier, post: 399563, member: 5806"]In my short time here, I always seem to learn a ton from GDJ's posts. I can tell you, I have played the PCGS crackout game, and have lost...bigtime. The problem was/is, I cannot grade well enough...not even close. For those interested in details, I took a 1880-o PCGS 64 and sent it in for a regrade, in the holder...came back 64...did again...came back 64. Cracked it (which is very nerve-racking btw), sent it in, came back 64...and that was it for me. I would have lost a ton in equity if it came back a 63. Here is a trueview of the coin for those interested...I'm sure the experienced ones (and the ones not so experienced) will immediately see why this was not a 65...but it took me some hard-earned cash to figure this one out. I have since sold the coin to a dealer for a small loss:desk: [IMG]http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm27/sf340flier/trueview.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
