So I'm watching this Goloid dollar in today's auction: http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleN...lotIdNo=1504

It's graded Proof-61 by NGC. I was doing some research and found the exact same coin previously graded by PCGS as Proof-62: http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/CoinIm...aspx?s=62004.

What I don't understand is why. Presumably no one would crossover a PCGS slab into a NGC slab at a lower grade. Was it cracked out and submitted raw? If so, wouldn't you then send it back to PCGS to hopefully regain the 62 grade before selling it? I would think it would more than pay for itself, even if a few submissions were required. Or did something happen to the coin that lowered it a grade...(and this is my real question - is it a troubling sign that it now sits in a lower grade? Or the seller just didn't want to bother?).

This. The value difference for a one-grade drop is minimal, but a step up to 63 is worth close to 50%. A no-brainer for a dealer with guts. And you sure as heck wouldn't resubmit it still in the slab if that's what you were looking for.

There are people that play the crossover game for $$$$ reasons.
