<p>[QUOTE="leoq, post: 702388, member: 20092"]I have a 2006 1oz gold Buffalo. It has been graded as PF69 UC. The coin also has a "First Strikes" designation. After having it checked by "coin dealers" and friends, I decided that I wanted to be re-graded; hoping for a PF70. I forwarded an email to NGC (original graders) and explained to them the situation. To my surprise when they answered my email they informed me that they would re-grade the coin but that they could not "carry over" the FS designation. Weird! It was them who were the original graders and it was them who designated the coin as a FS. I was wishing for a PF70 grade along with the FS, but now I do not know if it is worth loosing the FS status. There is no garantee that the coin will make a perfect PF70 or for that matter a PF69. What do you think? Please advice! </p><p> </p><p>The reason as to why I wanted the PF70 is because I have four other gold coins and they all have come back with a 70.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
