So I should be getting this back very soon. Still don't know the results of the crossover as I chose not to find out until the LCS receives them later this week. I hope this crosses as I ordered TVs with it as well. The toning on this piece is quite nice. The slab this was in was scratched up until it looked milky. It was so hard to see the true beauty of the coin through the scratches. So what do you guys think will it cross?

Do you mean 'cross at grade' or 'cross at any grade'?? My answer is a definite 'It depends'. Cheers, RickO
These are typically not well struck. Yours is missing more detail than most. The color on the reverse is "iffy" IMO. MS 63 is the most you can hope to get.
The TrueView should make those colors "pop". Please share when you get the results.

Why spend $40 (or more) to cross a $60 coin?
The toning is ok, but it’s not going to bring much of a premium.
I wouldn’t waste time and money trying to get the coin crossed. You may very get lucky and get a pc 62 out if it, which isn’t saying much given how common a date it is. I seriously doubt that it will grade higher. Then again, it may come in with a lesser grade. I know that this date comes softly struck, but it is not impossible to find another one with more meat on the bone for a few dollars more. Bottom line is to leave it alone and just enjoy it for what it is.
Okay drum roll please.

Aren't you supposed to post the present tpg grade so we get the cross question addressed better?
I wouldn't waste money crossing that, but you do you.

I think there's a term for this.
It will cross if you said cross at any grade, but "sorry to say" it will probably come back as a 58 or maybe even 60.
Ah I said Ms62 in the title but forgot to say it is NGC. And I know it's a cheap coin but trust me the toning on this will be worth it IMO but I guess it depends on the collector. I had to get it out of the slab regardless.
Sorry my bad, yes it was in the title, what's with me?
hard to tell, would be nice to find out what it comes back as.
It is hard to tell from the photos and the scuffed up slab. The strike is unusually weak on your coin even for this issue. It may or may not cross. As for toning, it is nice but album toning like this won't fetch much (if any) premium.
