Crossover or Upgrade?

Hello All,

I'm a new PCGS member and about to submit the 4 freebies. I noticed that you can only submit the 4 for either crossover, upgrade or raw grading.....you can't mix the 4. With that in mind, I have the following:

Morgans:

1880 S MS65: PCGS - strong upgrade candidate
1879 S MS65: NGC- strong upgrade candidate
1878 7TF MS63: PCGS- very strong upgrade to possibly 65

1887 MS66: ICG - crossover - good chance


Walker: 1936 MS66 NGC - excellent crossover chance

20$ Gold Liberty: 1907 MS64 ICG: Good crossover candidate.


What should I do with these four freebies?

Thanks

    I wouldn't crack out the ones already in pcgs holders. That leaves 4 coins. To crack them out or cross in the holder would depend on what is more important to you as each has is advantages/disadvatages.

    Cross in the holder same grade or higher only-Disadvantage-chance the coin will not cross=waste of money-comes back in original holder.
    Advatage-Coin will still be same grade as it was in the event it does not cross.

    Cross in the holder any grade-Disadvatage-chance coin will not cross due to a problem(comes back in original holder) or will come back in a pcgs holder at a lower grade.
    Advatage-Coin has better chance of crossing than above, minimum grade to cross at is a choice.

    Crack out then submit- Disadvatage-chance coin will come back lower that original grade or be rejected for a problem.
    Advatage coin is easier to grade and no chance of influence by current grade or holder.
