Crossover from PCI to PCGS - Question about submitting

ellewood

I am getting ready to crossover a gorgeous 1965 SMS CAMEO to PCGS (steal on eBay!). Question: If I select "Crossover" on the submission form and then select "Modern" for service level....and it states that you must have a minimum of 5 coins....does this mean I have to wait until I have 4 more coins to crossover before submitting???? Someone please tell me what I can and can't do there.

Another question:

Also, if I have 5 raw proofs to send in.....and one crossover.....do I have to fill out two separate submission forms and pay the shipping handling fee two times??? I think I do...but I just want to double check with you veterans out there....

Yes, if you select Modern you would need a minimum of five coins. You can, however, use Regular service at $30 and submit just the one coin.

Yes, if you are submitting raw coins they would need to be on a seperate submission form from the crossover.

That said, and I don't want to rain on your parade but I think honesty is best, it is highly unlikely that a PCI graded 1965 SMS Cameo will cross to PCGS unless it was graded at a much earlier time in PCI's history. There is a reason these are a "steal" on eBay.

I agree with Russ, save your money, the cams don't cross and the grade will most likely drop. I learned this the hard way, sent in a PCI 1965 MS65DCAM, received back a PCGS MS64!

Thanks for the advice. I was afraid of the crossover thing...so I went ahead and picked up a PCGS 65 SMS in 67 RD last week. I was going to slab this PCI one and see if I could resell if it crossed over with a reasonable grade. I paid 8 bucks for it. It's funny...it looks even better than the PCGS I bought last week. You sound like you are speaking from a wealth of experience...I think I'll hold off on sending it in. Thanks again for the replies everyone...

Toby,

There is a wealth of information on these boards. I think it is a great souce of information. Tap into it--everyone here seems to have an opinion.

Toby,

It's a Lincoln? Can you post images of it? There is a HUGE upside potential on a 1965 SMS Lincoln. PCGS has granted the cameo designation to a total of only 10 coins in any grade. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, so even though PCI generally sucks big, on occasion one can get lucky.

Edit: Make that 11 coins in cameo. Looks like someboday made one recently.

That's an interesting perspective. I like it.

To cross t over, I think it costs $30. Being a 65,.....I would just crack it out and send it in to be graded as a Modern for $12.
That saves you $ PLUS gets it out of that PCI Holder. You only have $8 in it, and if you have confidence in it.....That's what I would do!
GOOD LUCK!

Ellewood,
I would take the advise of Russ and Gandyjai on this one. The 1965's are VERY difficult in anygrade for Cameo and DeepCameo. Post a picture and get an opinion that way, then if you decide to send it in, crack it out of that broken down PCI home and give it a better home!

Just my 2 cents,

It is Cameo on both sides, isn't it?
PCI will slab Cam and Dcam with just one side
PCGS needs both sides

CrossOver is charged whatever teir and service you are using. In the case of a Modern PCI coin the cost is the same as that of one that is raw.
