<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 2786966, member: 77639&quot;]One annoying thing about submitting coins for crossover grading is that if the coin does not cross, you&#039;re not told what grade they think it is.&nbsp; I can see several reasons why they do this. 1. You may be more likely to submit it again for crossing at the same or lower grade.&nbsp; 2.&nbsp; They don&#039;t want their statement of grade to become a second grade opinion on a coin still in the other company&#039;s holder.&nbsp; For example, if you submitted&nbsp; a NGC MS64 to PCGS and you have a document from them that states they grade it MS63+, then in future sales, the coin might be advertised as PCGS MS63+ / NGC MS64.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can see their point.&nbsp; However, it seems like I&#039;m not getting the complete information that I paid for.&nbsp; They&#039;ve graded it, but will only say the grade is less than what is on the current holder. </p><p><br /></p><p>Arggh!&nbsp; You&#039;ve graded it, so tell me the grade!!</p><p><br /></p><p>And it&#039;s irritating to play the resubmission game.</p><p><br /></p><p>One way they could do this without creating a written or digital record that could be made public is to provide a unique, temporary access code on the paperwork returned with the coin.&nbsp; Then via phone only for 10 days, you dial them, punch in the code and hear a grade.&nbsp; Would be hard to link the grade back to the coin in public. Then you get 60 days to return the coin and paperwork and can have it crossed (for a fee, of course) to the grade you heard.</p><p><br /></p><p>When grading at shows, they could simply tell you the grade in person.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
