I sent all my proof statehoods back for regrade and they came back the same, minus quite a few bucks

I have better luck when I crack them out and resubmit them.

The coins I know are undergraded upgrade. The ones I think might have a chance sometimes do.

I sent in the following in their PCGS slabs:
1899 Double Eagle went from MS-62 to MS-63
1861-O half dollar went from MS-62 to MS-63
1843 Half Dime stayed the same at MS-63
1861 Trime stayed the same at MS-62

I've sent in around 25 coins over the years, and had about 1/3 of them upgrade. But everything I sent in looked very PQ to me.

Bill, can you tell me your mindset in sending back these coins? Were you trying to hit the so called "perfect grade"? Wouldn't you have a better chance gambling with the lottery? Steve

Last year, I got 4 regrade upgrades out of about 25 submissions. Fortunately, the upgrades I got resulted in increased values that more than covered the expense for all the submissions.

1953S MS66FB Rosy upgrade to MS67FB
1951S MS67FB Rosy upgrade to MS68FB
1952S MS67 Rosy upgrade to MS68
1958D MS66 Wash upgrade to MS67

I've sent in about 10 regrades (v. the crackouts) and have gotten 6 or 7 upgrades. The percentage for crackouts has been about the same. I evaluated each coin carefully, ignoring the particular generation of holder.

My crossover rate is about 60 percent, some of which have gone to the next higher grade. Although the percentage for crackouts has been about the same, I think chances are better with crackouts. It is easier to grade a raw coin- i.e., grade it for what it really is.

Statistics mean little re: regrades -- a lot depends on the knowledge and eye of the person submitting. Regrades that work do so because the right person knew to submit the right coin.

Pcgs cracks out pcgs regrades bofore the graders look at them so weather you crack them or send them in the slab it makes no difference unless the person at pcgs who cracks it out drops your coin or something.
Long time ago when you sent a regrade in the current grade was counted as one of the grades but pcgs no longer does that.

Pcgs cracks out pcgs regrades bofore the graders look at them so weather you crack them or send them in the slab it makes no difference unless the person at pcgs who cracks it out drops your coin or something. Agree; this is my understanding as well.

Placid,
it was my understanding that they still practice this inhouse
where the original grade is entered into the computer
