<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 2887745, member: 9474"]For those of you who have been following my threads over the past few months, this is the final thread in my re-grading challenge. Just a quick summary, but over the past 10 years, Ive been buying up Morgans both graded and raw to put in my Dansco Albums. Recently I decided that I was going to have them all regraded and decided to send them in to PCGS. Since the majority of them were previously graded by PCGS and other companies, I wanted to see how accurate these grading companies were. If you search out Part's I and II, you will see that they didn't do too bad getting the grades right. There were some upgrades and there were some down-grades and some even were body-bagged, but all in all, I was pleased with the results and in my opinion, PCGS did a great job reassigning the grades. In this last batch, I sent in some re-grades, some new coins that I bought and cracked out and the remaining Morgans in my book. Here are the results.</p><p><br /></p><p>........................Original Grade...............New Grade...............................</p><p>1883-O ............. NGC MS64...................
