Question about Washington quarter

I have a NGC67 1940D quarter I want to crossover to PCGS so I can enter it in my registry set. Should I crack it out and risk not getting it back in 67, leave it in the holder and take my chances, or just leave it alone. Thanks, Don

    I would send it in for a crossover. I think if you cracked it out it would likely come back in a 66 holder.

    Not to mention that if you damage the coin during crackout you're really going to cry.

    I'd leave it in the NGC holder.
    The chances are very good it will come back as an MS66. And as mentioned, you won't chance giving it a "boo-boo" cracking it out.
    Just print on the invoice "Cross at any grade" and I'm pretty certain you'll get it back in a PCGS holder as MS66..
    I've done it both ways, with the same results. So, why take a chance..
    JMHO...

    That depends. Is it an MS67 by PCGS standards? If so, crack it out.

  • Leave it in its NGC holder, and enter your set in NGC's registry. They allow NGC and PCGS coins.
    We are finite beings, limited in all our powers, and, hence, our conclusions are not only relative, but they should ever be held subject to correction. Positive assurance is unattainable. The dogmatist is the only one who claims to possess absolute certainty.

    If you do send it to PCGS, send it as a raw coin not a crossover.

    From what I've seen PCGS is more strict on grading Washington quarters. Would it be worth more in a PCGS 66 holder or in an NGC 67 holder.
