What is the definition of a crossover? Is it when you remove a coin from a cheap slab, and send it to PCGS and it gets the same grade? or do you send them another slab and see if they will re- holder it in the same grade? Thanks, John
a crossover is a term used when an already holdered coin is submitted to a second grading service in the hope that it will be holdered by the second company at an equivalent or higher grade. some submitters do it as a safeguard against a counterfiet or problem coin which wouldn't be holdered by the second company or to protect against monetary loss in the event that it doesn't cross at the same/higher grade---it is still in a holder.
I don't agree with the same grade or higher only part as a requirement to be called a crossover. To me anytime you submit a coin still in another grading services holder it is a crossover.
