Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5673 Posts	Posted 10/02/2025 12:48 pm Okay, so here's the rest of the story. I had no intention of giving PCGS more business to correct their own mistake. It happened that CACG was having a special on crossovers last month, with no fee charged if a coin didn't crossover. So I sent the coin in the PCGS holder to CACG and asked them to cross it over if they felt that the coin was an 1853-O No Arrows Half Dime (regardless of grade). And finally, I got the correct attribution with an acceptable G details grade! It took two grading fees, but it was worth it because no buyer would just take my word for it that it was an 1853-O No Arrows. And if I left it raw for my heirs to deal with in the future, it probably would have gotten sold as a dateless coin for melt. So after multiple round trips to grading services, it finally got the right attribution with the G details grade that most everyone predicted! Report this Post to the Staff

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."
