old holder

Can I send a coin in from lets say the green label holder and have it put into a new blue label holder without needing to have it checked to confirm the grade? ( like a cross over). I checked for this and the fee on this web site and could not find anything about it? I just like having all my graded coins in the same label holders. Anyone clue me in? thanks

Do NOT do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is added value in those older green insert PCGS slabs. Increasingly rare.
Live with different colored slabs.
Someday you will find people will buy your old slabs first without even looking at the newer ones.

is there a real logic to this or is this a joke guys?

Many collectors also feel that as grading standards have changed and evolved since the early slabbing days in the late 1980's & early 1990's, some of the earlier slabbed coins may be more conservatively graded -- especially in the higher MS-65 & 66 grades...
For DMPL & PL Morgans, I feel that the opposite may be true. I think that PCGS has toughened up their DMPL/PL designation standards since their first generation smaller "rattler" slabs...
I would not recommend that anyone reholder their "vintage" slabbed coins solely for the purpose of having all blue labels in their collection. However, if you want to take a shot at an upgrade, then that's another consideration...
Hope that this helps a bit...

Some coins in such holders are indeed graded more conservatively, while many others are not. However, because of the general perception, many buyers will pay extra for coins in the older holders even if those coins are not conservatively graded. Bottom line - there is often a built-in premium for coins in the older holders.
Even though there are far less PQ greens left that havent been tried than say 3 years ago, many people percieve them to be worth a premium to the blue especially in certain series. If you plan on selling one in any near future, I would hold out reholdering. Even if the coin is a no brainer non upgradeable, people go apesh*t when they come to auction. I have seen coins in older greens blow away a blue counterpart in prices realized, when there should have been no difference in price realized.
A few years ago, Like an idiot, I sent in a few of my coins to get reholdered to match the blue box and the newer graded ones. Wish I hadnt today. A couple are still upgrade candadites becuase they were just reholdered, but I would still probably not realize the maximum potential had they remained green.

Stuart, I am not a big dollar collector, but several freinds are and they tend to agree with your statement that one area that PCGS has tightened up on since the early green days is dollar Pl and DMPL designations and also the grading.
<< <i>Marz, there is a perception that coins in older, green labeled holders tend to be graded more conservatively and thus offer better upgrade (translation: $) possibilities.

this was really my concern and thanks! In card collecting- "WHEN" the card was held determines WHO slabbed it thus value is determined by how soft or hard the grading was more over the actual grade! it counters the "buy the plastic not the coin" profile and brings us back to actually looking at the coin/cards et.
