What is the largest grade increase you have received after…

AlanSki

A crackout or reconsideration? Mine was a 3 grade increase from a small ANACS to a NGC slab.

MWallace

Nice going!!

jesbroken

Congrats.

Really, thats pretty significant

BillJones

My biggest leap was from AU-58 to MS-63. The increase was worth a couple thousand at the time.

BryceM

I've had a few go from details grades to straight-grades. How do you count that? 64 points??

The one that really mattered was a 1927-S Peace dollar that went from MS65 to MS65+. At the time, it made it a top 5 coin and represented something like a $20k jump in paper value.

Believe it or not, this dime came back questionable color the first time I submitted it.

I had an old Irish guilt piece that went from AU58 (NGC) to MS64 (NGC). I expected a decent bump but not like that.

So what does this tell you about grading companies

It tells me different graders have different opinions. It might not necessarily be the companies themselves, but the graders since it’s my understanding you could get different graders each time.

My bests have been getting 58's to 64's, and once, long ago, a 55 into a 63. I know I got a couple of 2pt MS coins too, but I don't think ever made 3pts. Certainly nothing like a 64 to a 67! Congrat's!!

For me, those days are pretty few and far between any more (somewhat as I don't play as much, but mostly because the pickings are a lot slimmer than 15 to 30 years ago from the things I watch). Although, I did crack a N58 and had it go P63 last year. That one probably effectively made it worth at least 3x. I'm tempted to send her to CAC too.

I have several ANACS photo cert coins that I sent to PCGS that upgraded significantly. A few examples. 1818 Bust Half went from AU55/55 to MS62. 34 Washington quarter went from 65/65 to MS67 at PCGS. 1875 S double dime went from VF30/30 to AU50 at PCGS.

Uncirculated Details to Proof 62 was the best I've ever done. I've gotten a few one point upgrades but that's about it.

Not sure what a "guilt piece" is. Did you use the grocery or rent money to buy it?

ernie11

I have an ANACS photo certified coin that I resubmitted to them decades later. A 1982 no "P" strong strike Roosevelt dime. First time around, they graded it MS63, second time around it came back MS66.

Not Authentic to MS62

Both my crackout grade jumps occurred with proofs. One from a PR 66 - PR 68 and the other from a details to a PR 62.

I once cracked out a CBH from an NGC VF-25 and got a PCGS XF-40

Panama 1980 100 Balboa gold uncirculated (very rare) went from ANACS66 soapbox to PCGS69 PL. In hand it was a no-brainer. PCGS True view I could not get to post.

Those buff's are apparently the worst to grade. Congrats!! 👍

I had a Carson City double eagle that went from PCGS 40 to PCGS 53. Twice before winding up in the 53 holder it was details graded.

SEGS VF-20 to PCGS VF-30 for a 1927-D Buffalo 3-1/2 legger.

1.5 grade increase plus a star.

I had one like that as well-UNC details to 69-I consider it 9 points (UNC details = 60) but others might disagree with that scoring.

asheland

One can only imagine what this would do if sent back in.
Although I have no interest in doing that, as I love the holder that it’s in. Plus the price increase for a grade or two up really isn’t enough to worry about.

I bet CAC would give that coin a gold sticker without hesitation. Beautiful coin.

BillJones

I have gone from "body bag" to MS-64. I've also gone from "body bag" to AU-55.

Both bags resulted in a loss of 100% of my grading and shipping fees, which does not make one happy with some third party graders.

cameonut2011

UNC details to MS66

After reading these posts, it seems like my “best” isn’t much - a 1894/1894 Double Date IHC from PCGS 64RB to 65+RB. Still, a nice upgrade….

@Perryhall guilt is supposed to be gilt.

A half point on a tougher coin is more valuable than a multi-point gain on a common coin.
It might be interesting to see the biggest increase with the smallest dollar value change (like a 1938 Buffalo nickel going from 60 to 65 would be a big jump but minor in terms of value difference).

If you sent the coin to CACG it would come back in a 58 holder.

Just kidding. Great looking coin.

DelawareDoons

Morgan I bought went from 4 to 7. That was the biggest unc jump.

I took a VF30 to an AU50 with a type that was wildly undergraded by a TPG in the early 1990s. That's my biggest circ jump.

I had a PCGS coin go from 30 to 40.

I would love to participate in this thread...but need to wait until it's inverted to largest grade decrease .

Inditonka

Had a SEGS MS61 1921 Peace crackout become PCGS 63, then later CACed.

@PerryHall i didn't see the winky emoji . Sorry

ANACS 66 to PCGS 69PL on a 1980 Panamanian gold 100 Balboas.

1889 Seated Lib 25c PCGS PR66 to PCGS PR67+ Cameo.

A stunning neon pastels coin that I paid double retail for in a Heritage sale, then cracked it out and sent it back to our host 4 years later.

(green CAC, before and after)

I went from a PCGS F12 CAC to a VF25 NGC 1918/7 D Buffalo Nickel

braddick

I know it is the same coin yet the date looks stronger in the PCGS photo rather than the NGC.
The VF grade certainly looks appropriate too.

logger7

Have had a $1 Panpac go from Anacs to P62. Also a $20 Lib. go N45 to P58.

SanctionII

The only way I can respond to this thread is to say I have went from an ungraded coin (which some persons view negatively as they prefer graded coins) to:

1. MS67 (1943 P Cent);

2. SP68 (1965 SMS Dime); and

3. PF69CAM (1963 Quarter).

I have never (yet) submitted a graded coin for crossover or for reconsideration.
