Some of you know that I assembling a PCGS "variety" 7070 Type collection. Some of you know that some of the best coins are not always in PCGS slabs, which I have learned the hard way. When I can, I acquire PCGS coins, but there are a few that were not purchased that way (NGC, ANACS, PCI, etc...). My question, and pardon me if this has been posed before, should I send in "other" slabs for PCGS certification or crack and send 'em raw? The reason that I am asking is that there are additional fees involved with sending in "other" slabs based on the value of the coin; "Guarantee Premium (1% of PCGS Price Guide value or declared value). Applies to Rarities, Crossovers and Reconsiderations. The minimum amount for the Guarantee Premium is $5. PCGS reserves the right to make the final determination of the coin's value."I realize that you can request a minimum grade on crossovers and if that grade is not obtained then PCGS will not crack the holder and return it intact. I am almost certain that they would be graded "problem free" as they are residing in the "other" slabs. What do you think? Send 'em in raw or as a crossover?  Thank you for your interest!

Depends on the coin for me. If theyre just over a large value jump where a grade down would really hurt I would cross those, otherwise I lean towards raw with the added cross over fee.

Does PCGS even attribute these?

If they are NGC, I would crossover them. I f they were Snags, I would make sure they were problem free coins with good eye appeal and cross them
If they are in any other holder, crack them and submit raw. Everything that I have bought not in a Pcgs or NGC holder, I have cracked out.

I just did the on-line submittal forms for both raw and crossover; it pretty comes down to dollars (no sense), with the same options; attribution and tru-view imaging, raw trumps crossover by $60 (for three holdered coins, not including the 1860 IHC). Thank you for the comments/suggestions, but it makes better financial sense to send them in "raw". Edited by oih82w8

I forgot they did FS numbers, but knew they didn't do 2C's and Nickels. |

Thanks Wes, I will look into that link. Quote:

Pretty sure PCGS only crosses over NGC and ANACS, for everything else they WILL crack it out and treat it as raw. It's in their submission form.

BStrauss3, according to the articles (more specifically below) that westcoin supplied the link for, PCGS DOES crossover PCI, ICG and ACG holdered coins; http://news.coinupdate.com/crossove...pected-2026/I am still feeling confident about submitting raw though. Edited by oih82w8

I would agree with the raw path since it doesn't sound like you're worried if they drop a grade or two and already have a raw one.
On the plus side they're working pretty fast for classic coins right now.

I dont understand why NGC did that unless they were just really bad with cross overs. PCGS has it right, it only helps them getting the best coins into their holders.
