<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1191922, member: 26030&quot;]OK ... here comes a whole slew of questions!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anybody know about walk-through PCGS grading at coin shows.&nbsp; Has anyone ever done it or watched it beign done?</p><p><br /></p><p>I see an upcoming coin show near me that lists PCGS as having a table.&nbsp; If PCGS has a table, does that mean they will be doing walk through grading? </p><p><br /></p><p>Does PCGS do live on the spot grading and slabbing at ALL big coin shows or just some shows. If it&#039;s the latter, how do I find out which ones?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If I go up there with 5 to 10 coins to be graded and slabbed, how long would that take?&nbsp; (How long is the process for each coin?)</p><p><br /></p><p>Are there generally long lines for walk through grading, so you end up standing in line for 2 hours, then wait another hour or more while they grade and slab your coins?</p><p><br /></p><p>If lines tend to be long, are there certain days or times that tend to be less crowded (first day right when they open ... or last day, later in the day)?</p><p><br /></p><p>If I take an NGC slabbed coin to be regraded and reslabbed as PCGS, can they handle that there?&nbsp; That is, can they crack open NGC slabs for you, or do you have crack open the slabs yourself beforehand.&nbsp; If they wont crack open NGC slabs, will they crack open their own slabs if you have an old scratched up PCGS slab?&nbsp; If they charge extra for cracking slabs, does anybody know the fee?</p><p><br /></p><p>Last question, if I take an NGC slabbed coin to them that has a grade of say MS68 to be regraded and reslabbed ... it is possible to have them grade the coin in the old slab before cracking it open ... and then have them tell you what the new grade will be&nbsp; ... so if they say, we are going to put a PCGS MS65 grade on this, you can decline the reslabbing, regrading service and keep the old slab with the much higher grade.&nbsp; I imagine they still charge you if this is allowed.&nbsp; .... Or once you hand over your coins, do they disappear in some back room and never talk to you until the reslabbing process is done, so you dont know what the new grade will be until the end.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hey thanks if anyone has answers to any of my many questions![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
