Crossover confusion...

Does specifying the grade on a crossover get you a higher grade?

Do the graders know what the original slabs grade was? Do they know the minimum to crossover?

You can't request a higher grade on a crossover. The coin may cross at a higher grade if the grader believes it's worthy. Or the coin may cross at its current grade, or a lower grade if you request to cross at any grade.

Any thoughts on this ANACS 1971-S MS68 $1 - Will it possibly grade the same or 67? +? Only a slight scratch at 9 o'clock.

Please excuse the question. I am trying to learn something.

The PCGS Crossover page lists four (4) options for the minimum grade:
~ "current";
~ "any";
~ "details";
~ and "other".

I thought that "other" permitted the submitter to specify a higher grade.

What am I missing?

That's new to me, perhaps they changed. However, what would "acceptable" be?

Thanks for the response.

Based on the context, I assume it means a minimum grade, other than "current", that would be acceptable to the submitter. It would cross if it met, or exceeded, the specified grade.
