<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 293920, member: 112&quot;]I was contacted yesterday by an employee of Heritage regarding this coin - <a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=452&amp;Lot_No=1289" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=452&amp;Lot_No=1289" rel="nofollow">1893-S</a>. But since it would be considered to be self-promotion for a Heritage employee to post here on the subject, I am doing it for him. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, to the original poster ML94539, this message is for you and your benefit.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot; - there is a link to one of our auctions and the buyer asks if the coin will cross to NGC/PCGS.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot; I can guarantee that our internal staff of graders didn&#039;t think so. Basically their job is to find the coins that will upgrade or cross, so that we don&#039;t leave any money on the table (good for us and our consignors). This coin sold for 8600 and if slabbed by PCGS or NGC it would have sold for 11-12k. That is a big enough jump that we would have tried to cross it if possible. The fact that it isn&#039;t in a PCGS/NGC holder means it either didn&#039;t cross or crossover wasn&#039;t attempted (because our graders think it would have been wasted money).&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;.....I just don&#039;t want him to crack it out of that slab as he would be giving money away if he did. I don&#039;t think he overpayed all that much, but if he cracks it out he may have to invest a fair bit of money trying to get it back into a holder.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now, ML94539 - I hope you take this message to heart. You paid a good deal of money for this coin that is already slabbed. And I completely agree that it would be a huge mistake and total waste of money if you were to try and have this coin re-graded by NGC or PCGS. I myself am 99.9% certain that neither of them will grade this coin. And you have already heard the opinion of the folks at Heritage.</p><p><br /></p><p>So it is your decision to make, but that is the best and most honest advice I can give you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
