<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stevearino, post: 8000424, member: 74571&quot;]My recent experience in crossing over eight ICG coins into PCGS slabs was not as successful as some of you have experienced.&nbsp; I was hoping to get a bump in grade for at least a few of the eight; no such luck.</p><p><br /></p><p>I cracked all eight out of the ICG slabs and sent the coins in raw.</p><p>The following five received identical grades at PCGS as the original ICG slabs.&nbsp; No photos as there was exact agreement between the two TPGs.</p><p>1859 Indian cent, MS62; </p><p>1830 Bust Half, AU53; </p><p>1855-S Seated Half, G06; </p><p>1922-D Peace dollar, MS64</p><p>1932-S Wash. Quar., MS63</p><p><br /></p><p>The remaining three were a mixed bag:</p><p>1) The ICG 1885 Indian Cent MS64 RB came back Unc. Details, Questionable Color.&nbsp; I&#039;m taking a big hit on this one.</p><p>2) 1952-D Lincoln Cent, MS67 RD came back MS65 RD.&nbsp; No big deal, but taking a hit on this one, too.</p><p>3) An 1877-S Trade Dollar F15 came back VF25.&nbsp; A small gain.</p><p><br /></p><p>Considering the PCGS fees, I am through trying to guess the grades by means of photos of ICG-graded coins on auction sites and submitting to PCGS.&nbsp; My brief foray cost me several hundred dollars, I&#039;m guessing. Below are photos of the three coins that did not cross exactly.</p><p><br /></p><p>Steve</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1388017[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1388018[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1388019[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1388020[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1388021[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1388023[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1388024[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1388025[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
