Hi folks, Has anybody ever submitted something to PCGS for crossover; have it come back as 'did not cross;' resubmit for crossover; and successfully have it slabbed by PCGS? Thanks!
I use to do allot of this with currency PMG to PCGS and have done a couple coins as well but you need to remember PCGS is the big boy on the block if the coin is crossing over from NGC to PCGS and back and fourth you will probably get alike grading but if your trying to graduate a coin from ANACS or ICG be prepared to be disappointed as they will usually fall short by at least one grade sometimes even more.
I haven't ever done it personally, but over the years there have been a great many reports made of it happening. In other words, posts (including pics) made by others of it happening to them. And not just on this forum but pretty much all the forums. There have also been examples of resubmissions of all kinds too numerous to count resulting in upgrades, downgrades, clean grades v details grades, etc etc etc. And yes, it happens when both submissions and or numerous submissions were with the same TPG, as well as different TPGs.
I once submitted a 1956 Jefferson Nickel NGC MS67 for crossover and it didn't cross. I have been tempted ever since to submit it for crossover again, but I just don't submit to PCGS that much. Maybe your thread will spur me. I have submitted an NGC coin for regrade 1940 NGC MS67 OH. I was looking to upgrade the steps to 5FS. It came back MS67+. I submitted it again, and it came back MS67+5FS. Can't find the photos though.
My experience is that if you know how to grade, you can identify which coins ICG and ANACS graded correctly. 1944-D Jefferson Nickel MS67 1938-S Jefferson Nickel MS67
I have been stubborn with a few coins that I had graded a few times (did not succeed and eventually gave up) but my crossover efforts were one and done (2 coins-1 crossed and I kept it while the other did not and I sold it....I liked the one that did cross better regardless if it had crossed or not).
I tried submitting a NGC coin twice to PCGS for crossover, and it flunked both times. If the NGC slab has the same cert. no. when it goes to PCGS the second time, it will be scanned into their system, and the first flunk will pop-up for the graders to see. Chances are very slim at this point that they will change their minds. What might work is send it to NGC for a regrade, and it should come back with a new cert. no. whether the grade got upped or not. Then send the coin to PCGS, and it won't already be in their computer system. Would only want to do this if you really want it to cross because you'll be paying for 3 gradings. Cal
4. Somebody paid to have it originally graded at NGC. Doesn't that highlight the absolute absurdity of the crossover game? The only people making certain money at it are the TPGs.
