Ed -
I viewed the coin in your prior thread ... thanks for the link.
Outstanding and beautiful Proof Lincoln ... and I believe to be DCAM though not a true expert.
I told you in my reply to the prior thread that I'll offer some advice .... take it for what it's worth to you.
ANACS certified coins from the generation yours was holdered do not have a good reputation in the marketplace. The graders at PCGS know this as well.
I'm thinking that if submitted to PCGS as a crossover in that ANACS holder ... and asking for PCGS PR69DCAM ... you are wasting your money and time and should just keep it as is.
Allowing for some level of PCGS 'downgrade' ... say PR68DCAM or PR67DCAM might allow PCGS to re-holder the coin ... you need to decide what is worth it to you.
The coin is for sure more marketable in a PCGS DCAM holder, regardless of grade.
Final piece of my advice ... you'll likely not like this part.
A grizzled coin veteran gave me the truth of the PCGS grading floor ... and it has informed the way I submit coins to PCGS ever since.
Every PCGS submitted coin is seen by two graders ... 20 to 30 seconds each. Their grading scores are entered into a computer and if 'close enough' the deal is done.
On occasion a third grader is used to resolve gaps between the initial two or for an unusually rare coin.
Be mindful Ed of the 20 to 30 seconds to examine the coin ...
For all holdered coins ... whether PCGS or crossover ... the first grader is eliminated.
The entire 'new' grade is determined by one PCGS wizard who has 20 to 30 seconds to make up his mind and move on.
I strongly suspect that if you attempt this crossover in that suspect generation ANACS holder ... that one PCGS grader will spend about 5 seconds and say 'done here'.
Here is the part you won't like ...
I crack out and submit all my re-grades as raw coins to PCGS ... gaining the benefit of two graders who need to agree.
If you are not willing to do this with your ANACS PR69DCAM 1959 LWC ... then I advise keeping it just as it is.
