<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 24619926, member: 77639&quot;]I’ve tried to cross NGC coins a number of times with variable results.&nbsp; Have had better success with world than U.S. coins.&nbsp; Chances of success are better if coin is in an older NGC holder.&nbsp; I even got an uptick of ½ grade on a two cent coin in an old style NGC holder.&nbsp; If you have a NGC MS coin in the lower grades (60-62), and it doesn’t cross at same grade, good chance PCGS thinks it has a little rub.&nbsp; Consider trying it again allowing a AU58 grade.&nbsp; PCGS appears to be tougher on some U.S. series than NGC … walkers for example.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you collect expensive coins and really want PCGS, better to buy PCGS in the first place rather gamble on a cross.&nbsp; If it’s a rare coin and you’ve been waiting a while for it to become available, it’s hard not to go for a NGC coin.&nbsp; I&#039;ve fallen for that temptation.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wish the grading services would do crossover grading without the graders knowing the current grade on the slab … but they don’t.&nbsp; At a show, I mentioned this to a NGC rep, and she said it wouldn’t make any difference because the graders are professionals.&nbsp; I managed not to laugh in her face.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
