Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6389 Posts	Posted 02/14/2016 12:39 am I've posted this large cent before. I purchased it in a blue-label ANACS holder, graded MS-60. Grades determined by ANACS during their "blue label" period are not considered to be reliable. In fact, I think the company has disallowed their usual warranty obligations for those coins. So, it would have been to my advantage if I managed to get this coin crossed to PCGS or NGC. I tried both companies and both refused to cross it at MS-60. I brought the coin to the Long Beach show and showed it to several dealers who specialize in early copper. The general opinion was the coin showed a slight trace of wear but was otherwise problem-free. So, I decided to try the PCGS crossover special offer. This time I specified that AU-58 was the minimum crossover grade. I was pleased to receive the coin yesterday, in a brand-new PCGS slab. I'm confident that the coin is potentially more valuable and (when the time comes) will be easier to sell in the new holder. Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 02/14/2016 04:52 am Great looking coin but agree, a very slight trace of rub but original besides. Nice crossover. PCGS is a much better option for this coin ;-) swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfusion Pillar of the Community United States 500 Posts	Posted 02/14/2016 11:03 am I think the crossover was a wise move on your part. If these 2 slabbed were cloned and sitting side by side I would walk away with the PCGS coin for more money every time. Report this Post to the Staff

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4593 Posts	Posted 02/24/2016 6:11 pm Nice. You are correct, ANACS will reslab blue using the old blue label (say it was cracked), but cannot honor guarantees made by previous owners. http://www.anacs.com/contentPages/Guarantee.aspx Quote: Coins that were certified by ANACS under previous ownership will be reholdered in ANACS' blue label. Coins that were certified since January 1, 2008, when ANACS began its new ownership, will be reholdered using ANACS' gold label. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff

And I would walk away with the equal quality ANACS coin for less money every time. (At least I would if I could, this is well out of my price range.)
