<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Zak, post: 32590, member: 824&quot;]I have some proof coins I acculmulated from a number of &quot;lower-tiered grading services&quot; that I felt would cross-over nicely with guys like PCGS, NGC, ICG, etc.&nbsp; All things said, a PCGS PR69DCAM is worth more than ___ grading company in the lower tier range.&nbsp; The dollars I saved were substantial and if I crossed them over, I would still be ahead.&nbsp; Shoot, I could list a few on ebay and apply the dollars elsewhere!&nbsp; Anyways...</p><p><br /></p><p>Question...do you think guys like PCGS would be more &quot;prejudicial&quot; when crossing slabs or less inclined if they were submitted raw?</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t want to believe that a grader would say, &quot;What the...these coins were graded ____ by those guys?...I&#039;ll show them how to grade.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Since they are proof coins, I really don&#039;t like breaking out slabs.&nbsp; There I am holding my breath, touching the coin (on the edge) with all inert materials, and hoping that I don&#039;t sneeze during the process.</p><p><br /></p><p>What would you do...let them cross completely? ...or at a minimum grade (not likely to achieve due to grading profiling...if there is such a thing)? ...or break them out and hope I don&#039;t breathe on the coin and submit them raw?</p><p><br /></p><p>Your thoughts please.&nbsp; Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
