[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 7773855, member: 101855"]I have never tried that type of crossover. My perception is that you have two strikes against you when you submit a coin to PCGS in the competition's holder. My approach was always bite the bullet, crack it out and send it in raw. I have seen ICG coins that were conservatively graded, which were every bit as good as their PCGS counterparts. I have also seen more of them that were "optimistically graded." I think that you need to take an objective look at the coins to decide if they have chance of crossing in the same or even higher grade. If you were a really fussy ICG grader, you might get most of them to cross in the same grade. If you sort of went with the flow, and bought what came along, I think that you chances are lower.
