Just bought one myself as well for my type set. It's at PCGS right now hopefully maybe sneak another grade or two higher out of the crossover
It won't have a chance of an upgrade unless you take a chance, crack it out and send it in raw. Even if you do get the higher grade, PCGS coins bring higher prices, so you might no gain anything except on the NGC registry. NGC has thrown the dice has ended the posting of PCGS coins on their registry. They think it will increase the demand for their coins, but I doubt it. There are a fair number of nice coins in NGC holders, but two factors limit their numbers: 1. A great many of the properly graded NGC coins get crossed over to PCGS. 2. NGC grading standards are in general lower than PCGS standards. You can't make that a blanket assumption. You have to grade each coin on a care by care basis, but overall that is true. |

I didn't send it in with the sole purpose of attaining a higher grade. I just need it a secure slab so I can add it to my registry set along with 3 other non PCGS slabbed coins. Think the coin will look much better in a secure slab as well. Not worried about the grade as I bought it for a no motto type dollar that has IMO has older skin tone to it.

Anecdotally, NGC seems to be firming up a bit lately on grading. They've also announced today a 50% off Crossover Special, where any PCGS coin sent to them that you cross over to an NGC holder (either as an Any or at a minimum grade) will be priced 50% off for whatever service level you chose for that coin.
If you currently have coins @ NGC for crossover you should call them and tell them to apply the special 50% off to your order if possible.

I have a PCGS coin that needs a crossover. Is anyone doing a submission I can piggyback on?

Thanks for all your helpful responses. A lot to think about.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

The main thing to think about at this point is that $1,700 is too much money for this coin in AU-58. If you like the look, you should be able to find another one for less money.

I do not see evidence of a cleaning. Some rub on the highpoints. AU58

OP: I don't think I'd spend that kind of $$$$ with those images. It doesn't show the surfaces that well and it looks heavily dipped. Technical AU-58 but I doubt it would command that much since it is not original and that is what many collectors are going for currently.
