Do you realize that what you're spending in crossover fees and 2-way postage, you could just buy some of those coins outright already in PCGS holders?

I feel your pain but do think the outcome was pretty much to be expected on the "downgrades" (still nice coins though I am sure). Did you submit in the original holders? I crack every non-PCGS coin before submitting to PCGS so I know there is absolutely no bias perceived or real. I even shred and then burn the certs so I know PCGS agents haven't gone thru my trash and ascertained the original grades. (J/K) I just submitted a Heritage sold NGC MS64 that looked 64 in the scans but screams 62 or lower in person. 63 at best, IMHO. We shall see in a couple of months.

I looked at a table of SEGS graded Morgans at the Anaheim show with an open mind, viewed the coins and not the holders. There were some nice examples but there is just no way I was going to pay damn near 66 money for a 64 sitting in a 65 holder or even if it was raw. Unfortunately, many dealers cling to overgraded certs. and won't go below gray.

You did great. You only lost one grade on most of the non PCGS coins. That's great. You also crossed six coins at the same grade which is incredible. You must have a great eye for coins and found those few properly graded coins in other slabs. Congratulations!

Responding to comments...

Most of the coins that were crossed have been owned by me for at least a couple of years. It is only recently that I became interested in the PCGS Registry Set and thus the need to attempt the crossover.

I am mostly happy with the results. The 1895-O was the one that really upset me, but other than that a pretty good result.

The total cost for the crossover on this order was $211 plus my shipping costs to PCGS (approx. $9 since this was about one fourth of the package submitted). Since I already owned the coins in the slabs that I submitted, I felt the cost was worth it. To buy 12 PCGS-certified coins and sell the ones that I had takes time and time is money.

Oh, by the way, I do submit them in their original slabs.
