<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owle, post: 1391088, member: 22004&quot;]I would check out auction archives like Heritage and compare your coin to other examples there.&nbsp; PCGS may allow it to cross but not at its present grade, that might be a good option.&nbsp;&nbsp; I don&#039;t believe the grading services are necessarily reluctant to cross nice coins, but they may look at it tinged with suspicion or reluctance.&nbsp; Best option would be to go to a big show where the services are grading the coins on 24 hour schedules and get opinions from the right experts.&nbsp; I paid someone once to give me an opinion on a nice $20 Liberty in a MS63 holder (OH PCGS), but when I cracked it and had NGC grade it, it no-graded due to very light cleaning!&nbsp; Situation #2; I asked an expert at the NGC table about whether certain gold coins would grade OK.&nbsp; He said they needed to go through NCS first, which cost me over 5% on a common $20 gold coin!&nbsp;&nbsp; Thoroughly examine your own coins and realize there are as many bandits in this business as at Foxwoods![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
