Crossovers..Please walk me through how it works!

Ogden

Would anyone know the exact steps of the crossovers process. i.e Is the first step the clerk logging the coin in and then somehow covering the grade of the involved coin with a piece of tape? Where does it go then? and how? Does the grader ever see the prior grade? Can the graders peek? If it's crossed over, who cracks the coin out and does anyone report back to the grading committee? In my opinion the graders should never see the prior grade and shouldn't be interested. Is this a fantasy world? Can anyone expound on this? It would be great if one of the members could go through all the steps.

Thanks
Ogden

Well I can't answer in great detail.But I do remember that there was a thread about this started on the Q&A board sometime back and the one thing that I do remember is that they do not cover the grade.

The coins are checked in the put in a special non-see thru box.
Then the graders are borught into a room and blindfolded.
The coins are brought in and each grader feels the coin slabs and try's to guess service they are.
The ones they guess right are crossed and the rest not.

Simply........... it doesn't!! Don't bother wasting your money! Crack 'em yourself and send 'em in raw. Unless you like that strange feeling in your backside

Placids idea sounds interesting but if the graders can't figure out at least 95% of their competitors slabs by touch then they need to do a helluva lot more homework about their competition!!

Placid- if they do that on raw coins, too, that could explain the fingerprints!

Yes we are but from what i have been reading and learning it may be better to crack them out your self and send them in raw, you may stand a better chance.
Back in my time we didn't have all this madness of grades. it was good or bad take it or leave it. Of course we also walked 3 miles to school each day uphill in the deep snow with no shoes on and only bread
with some peanutbutter on it for lunch carried under our handme down thin coat.
