[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 2068578, member: 1765"]For coins that are not Important Coins or from Important Collections, both PCGS and NGC will play it conservative when it comes to crossovers. There are several reasons for this. [LIST=1] [*]It makes you look like the tougher grading service with the higher standards, and in so doing... [*]It makes the competitor look less competent. [*]It provides you the potential of additional grading fees for a coin if the crossover rate is just high enough to tease a submitter into trying again. [*]Many coins that are submitted for crossover are in crap holders, scuffed, hairlined, foggy, or the almost textured older NGC ones, and the coin is simply not as visible as it is out of the holder. [/LIST] Take your pick as to which one(s) you think play the biggest role in the crossover exercise.[/QUOTE]
