Hello everyone,

I have 2 dimes, a 1949-S MS68 toned graded by ICG and a 1958-D MS68 graded by ANACS. It is toned as well. These are actually 2 of the best Roosevelts I have actually ever seen. The 1958-D should probably be desginated as a full torch speciman.

My questions are: Does NGC/PCGS have guidelines as to how they grade the FT/FB designation? Example: on Franklin Halves, ANACS does not designate FBL unless both upper and lower lines are full.
Opinions on whether NGC or PCGS offers the best shot of crossing over to the same grade?

Have a great one everyone!!

Hi Lonnie,
I don't know about their Full Torch policy, but I suspect neither PCGS nor NGC would be likely to cross over your coins at their current grades. I think they're just too finicky when it comes to ultra-high grades, and they may be especially reluctant to cross ANACS or ICG coins.
I attempted to cross an ICG-graded PR-69 1952 quarter at PCGS. I specified a minimum grade of PR-68 and they still didn't cross it.
Maybe my experience was not typical and you might have better luck. If you're willing to risk the grading fee, it might pay off. If you can get them into PCGS or NGC holders with the same grades, they will likely be worth more if and when you try to sell them.

You would have the best chance with NGC. PCGS will probably grade it 65-66 and NGC at 66-67. Post some pictures so we can give you an opinion based no more info.
