Has PCGS ever considered retaining the old crossover grade on the slab?

There may be some proprietary violation, but I was wondering if PCGS has considered retaining the crossover grade on the new slab? Why would anyone want to do this? Well, for me, I own a dozen rare date coins in NGC holders graded au55pl and au58pl. If I cross them, I lose credit in the NGC pl registry, but that also means to get credit in the PCGS registry, I would have to buy the same year. If I could cross the NGC coin but retain the NGC pl designation, I would only have to own one of each year.

Alternatively, you might simply opt to designate aupl coins, but I understand that is not in the works, so to speak.

When we cross a coin we return the flip to you. If you want to retain the AUpl then just don't send back the flip, and you can use the "flip" in the NGC Registry. Since it's just for a few coins, it probably doesn't hurt anything.
