Anyone interested in going in on an economy crossover submission? (GRADES POSTED)

I was inspired by Blade's post. I have 2 coins that I'm interested in crossing over (one in an ANACS slab, one in an NGC slab). I really don't want to send them in for regular service if I don't have to -- is anyone interested in going in on an economy crossover submission with me? I figure it's probably going to cost $20-$25 plus your cost of insured shipping to and from me. Of course, the final price will depend on how many people are interesting in going in on this and the values of their coins.

To make it even more interesting, I'm also going to put together a "YN Economy Crossover Fund." If you're interested in making a small donation on top of your grading fee, let me know. I'll pool together all the donations, and make an offer to YN's on the board to join our submission of an economy crossover coin for free. Of course, you can donate to this cause even if you don't have a coin you want to send...

If you're interested, PM me:

How many coins you'd want to submit for crossover grading
Their value
Your e-mail address
If you'd like to donate towards the "YN Economy Crossover Fund," how much you'd like to donate

Send me your PMs by Monday night. I'll figure out what the total cost will be per person and how many free crossover offers we can make to the YNs out there...

  • ttt for the morning crowd
  • BTW, we have enough coins in the submission now that the cost should be no more than $20 (plus your cost of shipping to and from me).

    I also have a group of coins to try to cross.....but one thing concerns me. Call me paraniod, but I have always believed that if you send in a group of coins and there are some are dogs or "throw it againist the wall & see if it sticks" coins in the batch that it can have a negative affect on the whole submisson. Whenever I have sent in the cream of the cream coins of my cross overs I usually get good results. JMO(to be taken with a large grain of salt)
  • We ended up with a batch of 16 coins which were safely packed and dropped off at the post office this morning. Now the wait begins...
  • Wow, that was a quick economy turnaround! I wasn't expecting we'd get this back for another month. Here are the results from our group submission:

    1 21644378 1851 1C USA VF20BN
    2 21644379 1831 H10C USA VF30
    3 21644380 1818 50C USA XF40
    4 21644381 1903 S$1 USA MS64
    5 21644382 1891 5C USA MS64
    6 21644383 1909 5C USA DNC
    7 21644384 1882-CC S$1 USA DNC
    8 21644385 1918 10C USA DNC
    9 21644386 1920 10C USA DNC
    10 21644387 1926 10C USA DNC
    11 21644388 1929-D 10C USA MS65FB
    12 21644389 1920 1C USA DNC
    13 21644390 1957-D 1C USA DNC
    14 21644391 1958-D 1C USA DNC
    15 21644392 1964 1C USA DNC
    16 21644393 1964-D 1C USA DNC

    Date Received: 06/23/2004
    Date Shipped: No Date Specified

    My coins were lines 3, 4, 5, and 6 (I decided to send in 4 coins in the end):

    3 21644380 1818 50C USA XF40 <-- Was ANACS XF40. I kind of suspected an upgrade though. Guess I should be happy it crossed
    4 21644381 1903 S$1 USA MS64 <-- Was NGC MS-64. The only reason I submitted this was because it's my son's (born in 2003), and the 2003 dollar he has is PCGS-encapsulated and I thought it would be nice if this matched. Also, I like to give the coin to him to hold (he likes it because it's so shiny), and he was banging it around in the NGC holder. I'm hoping the PCGS holder holds the coin in place better when banged on the floor. image
    5 21644382 1891 5C USA MS64 <-- Was NGC MS-64. This coin has a good strike (for the date), but was a little lacking in the luster. I kinda expected it wouldn't cross.
    6 21644383 1909 5C USA DNC <-- Was (still is) ANACS MS-64. This coin had a good strike and great toning, but was also a little lacking in the luster (like the 1891), so it doesn't surprise me too much that it didn't cross. Not sure why the 1891 did and this didn't though...

    I'll let the other folks who were involved in this submission comment on their coins if they'd like...

    Seems to me you should find some old green-label PCI Morgans that have a good chance at crossing over. Those are shiny too, and when your son bangs those slabs on the floor long enough and hard enough, consider it your crackout!

    This is encouraging. The group that Blade sent in was received on 6/18. Should see grades soon for those. It's also interesting because the estimated turn around time has just increased to 60 days.

    Looking for PCGS AU58 Washington's, 32-63.
  • Really? Didn't realize Blade's hadn't come back yet. I wonder why mine came back so much sooner?

    I'd rather have had one of my coins upgrade and take an extra month ... but overall I didn't do too badly on my part of the submission.
  • K6AZK6AZ Posts: 9,295
    Wow, I just did a count on your submission. Ten DNCs out of a 16 coin submission? That's brutal, and I have never had such a low percentage. Of course, I crack my coins out to be absolutely sure there is no bias.

    I wonder if they treat submissions with crossovers differently and that is why the grades came back so soon?

    I agree, hopefully we will be seeing ours with blade back in a few days.
