And who says every PCGS coin crosses to NGC????

Hmmmm... NGC refused to cross this lovely coin from a PCGS slab. (PR64RB)
Any guesses why? AT, questionable toning, not enough red ect?
So for those that think PCGS is the superior grading service and ultra tight, you should buy every nice PCGS coin you can find and cross it to NGC and get a point bump and sell the coin for a huge profit. It'd be easy to be a dealer, right?
BTW -- I didn't buy this for resale -- it's going into a registry Type Set.

If only true arbitrage were that easy!

Nope. But most TPGs that see copper with color get a little skittish.
I have a feeling that this coin is probably a BN designation not a RB, but I'm no Lincoln expert.
It appears that PCGS is a little more lenient in regards to some designations -- FBLs being another.

I don't know about proofs, but purple on business strike copper is usually best avoided.

I could be wrong, but I want to see if NGC lists the reason for the DNC. Questionable color might still be it though.
My thought is that the coin should be PR65BN and therefore NGC didn't want to cross it at the same grade/designation. From my understanding toning on copper rarely gets a RD design. and sometimes not even a RB one. Again, I don't know jack about copper so I could be talking out my A**.

That 1911 is absolutely STUNNING. I just had to say it.
Who told him it's AT?

Who are you?

Who's crying? And I didn't say NGC is superior to PCGS. And I don't think the coin is AT. I sent it over because I prefer NGC over PCGS and I'm doing a 1911 proof set within the Type Set and the other coins are in NGC slabs and I wanted the set be uniform -- that's all.
Many here think PCGS is superior to NGC. If that was the case that NGC should readily cross any PCGS coin because, obviously, the coin HAS to better. My point is that NEITHER is superior to the other. And that each company will misgrade and mis-designate coins.
As Merz2 indicated, a relative expert in Lincolns, this coin is not a RB designation. PCGS missed the boat on this coin. If I had requested "cross at any grade" the coin would probably be a NGC PF65BN.

Not yet, but I will once it gets back from NGC. -- Mr. Feld!

BTW, nice coin!
