dom Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 07/21/2014 3:16 pm Hello All, haven't been here in a while, working like a fiend. Any way the question I have is: Has anyone ever crossed over a details graded coin to another TPG and have it come back as a straight grade? Ages ago I purchased a 1911-d half eagle which looked completely original to me which I figured a solid xf maybe an au on a good day. I sent it to one of the 4 TPG's only to have it come back as an au50 details due to cleaning. should I leave it alone, crack it out or just give it a shot, appreciate all input Report this Post to the Staff

It's a crap shoot and sometimes you win ... many times you lose or break even. If you decide to resubmit, crack it out of the current holder. Although the TPG's insist they mask the current grade from their graders, I wouldn't take the chance. Report this Post to the Staff
jgenn Pillar of the Community United States 1156 Posts	Posted 07/22/2014 09:54 am I did this just recently for some of my world coins. They were all cracked out before submission. 4 NGC Details => 4 PCGS Genuine (same grade category) 1 NGC Details => 1 PCGS Genuine (lower grade category) 2 NGC Not Genuine => 2 PCGS Genuine 2 NGC AU Details => 1 PCGS AU58, 1 PCGS MS62 If you have a borderline case, you might get lucky. ~jack Report this Post to the Staff

OP if money isn't an object, you could do it just for the grins and see what happens, but it's a gamble at best, and the odds are way against. Report this Post to the Staff
