I just received my grades on 2 coins. I’ve never cracked out a coin to submit in hopes of a better grade till now. 1st coin was a 1938 D Walker that was in an ANACS new holder as MS61….. it’s now in a 63 holder.
2nd coin is a 1918/7 D Buffalo that was PCGS F12 CAC….it’s now in a VF25 holder. I felt the Buffalo was under graded, but I am really surprised it jumped so much.

    At least give yourself the credit of seeing a grade difference and cracking them out. Nice going.

    That Buff has a full horn. It should be in a VF holder.

    The crackout game can be very profitable if you have grading skills.

    I'm seeing 80% horn. Definitely way more than 50% or 75%.
    Of course PCGS does not require a true 100% full horn for VF.

    I sent them to the other good grading service.

    Congrats. I did it once and made out ok. Getting ready to try it again. I hope this works out as before.

    Was the CAC sticker on the nickel gold? Congrats on the upgrades!

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @Vetter... Congratulations on the upgrades. Can be risky, but with good grading skills, it can work out well. Cheers, RickO
