Should I Cross Over, Crack out, Resubmitt or ???

Smittys · October 3, 2004 10:35PM

Just looking for opinions of what I should do, Croos over, crack out, resubmitt or just leave as is.
The white spots are dust on my scanner, three pics to look at.
Thanks,
Smitty

What's happening beneath the last "A" in "AMERICA" on the reverse?

kieferscoins · October 3, 2004 10:47PM

I vote leave it in the slab it is in.

She's hella beautiful!!!!!!!! I haven't cracked before and really would try to cross her over.

Shamika · October 3, 2004 10:51PM

If that's pitting beneath that "A", then the coin should be left as is.

Smittys · October 3, 2004 10:54PM

The stuff under the A is dust guess I should have dusted my scanner before using it

I don't think you will get a higher grade or designation. Leave it in that slab.

I say leave it...and out of anger at having not received a higher grade from NGC, sell it at a low price to a needy board member.

CoinHunter2003 · October 4, 2004 12:10AM

A beautiful coin. Leave it in the original slab. Crossing these days risks
"fingerprinting" and other mistakes.

sliderider · October 4, 2004 1:59AM

Leave it alone. The risk of loss, theft or damage is too great to risk crossing such a nice coin. NGC is still a respected slab, so you should have no problems when it comes to value retention. If this had been in a third world holder, I'd say go for it.

Smittys · October 4, 2004 8:10AM

And who might that needy boards member be????

jonesy · October 4, 2004 8:13AM

I'd leave it. You have a nice scanner!!

dpoole · October 8, 2004 12:24AM

<< You have a nice scanner!! >>

I agree, Smittys! Nice resolution (an nice coin!).

What scanner do you have, and what settings do you use??

bestclser1 · October 8, 2004 4:22AM

Beautiful coin.I would leave it as is.Lloyd

Smittys · October 8, 2004 10:16PM

Scanner's a Microtek Scanwizard and I use 600 dpi Jpg then use adobe photo to resize for veiwing.
Thanks for all your opinions I guess I'll leave it as is.

Well if you were putting it into a registry set it would pretty much be a no brainer.
There does look to be a big jump in selling prices from PR64 to PR65, even if you cross over at the same grade in PCGS, the price
difference would probably pay for it anyway.
Tough call.
It's a very nice coin.

saintguru · October 8, 2004 10:33PM

CROSS!

saintguru · October 8, 2004 10:34PM

CROSS IT!!

ldhair · October 8, 2004 10:53PM

I like the looks of larger CAM coins in a white holder.
They just don't seem to look as nice in a clear holder.

Just my opinion

coincollector1989 · October 8, 2004 11:01PM

Keep it as is.

coinguy89 · October 8, 2004 11:03PM

Keep it in, its a hot one.

100proof1957 · October 9, 2004 4:19AM

cross at minimum of 64

very nice coin

Dog97 · October 9, 2004 4:26AM

Unless you just wanted it in a PCGS holder I see no reason to mess with it. But if I was going to I'd crack it out and do it raw.
Your pictures make it look solid enough for the grade that I wouldn't be scared of it grading anything but 64 cam, to say the least. Me thinks it's high end for grade and who knows, you might get a 65 back.

idocoins · October 9, 2004 5:14AM

<< cross at minimum of 64

very nice coin >>

291fifth · October 9, 2004 5:17AM

I'm glad I've switched to the darkside. I don't have to worry about this kind of nonsense anymore.

ldhair · October 9, 2004 5:24AM

<< nonsense >>

Tell me it ain't so.
To each his own.

majorbigtime · October 9, 2004 5:27AM

It's in a late vintage slab from a good service and not obviously undergraded, so why would you want to mess with it?

saintguru · October 9, 2004 5:30AM

Why is a cross-over such a problem? It can't get downgraded and as a PCGS coin is easier sold for good money, IMO.

100proof1957 · October 9, 2004 5:33AM

Cameron and the Olsons !

There is no down side!

Smittys · October 9, 2004 9:53PM

Guess I really don't know, still want to thank everyone for their opinions.
Maybe i'll figure it out
Help more help.

100proof1957 · October 9, 2004 11:28PM

Its gonna bring more cash in a PCGS slab should you decide to sell it.

I have the same dillema with these

Link O Rama

Probably will send for cross at minium PR67,which would be OK,if they all cross at 68,im golden.
Crackem out and send,they come back PR66 im dead meat.

You have a nice coin there and im thinkin up-grade !

ColonialCoinUnion · October 9, 2004 11:41PM

If you are planning to sell it imminently, I'd try very hard to get it into a PCGS holder.

If you have no plans to sell it, then I'd settle into a comfortable chair and watch football or something, content that your coin is just fine in its current holder and if and when you do decide to sell at some point in the future, you can evaluate the then current slabbing companies and which one might serve you best.

dan1ecu · October 10, 2004 12:59AM

It's a very nice coin! I wouldn't bother crossing it. With that kind of eye appeal, I don't see why it would matter what holder it's in.

Dan

saintguru · October 10, 2004 1:08AM

Dan...look at auction archives where ther are 2 "same coins" in both NGC and PCGS holders. The fact is that the PCGS will usually bring a significant premium. I've found it to be 10-30% more.

Cam40 · October 10, 2004 1:23AM

hmmm, why are these such a tough grade. i mean, its not an ike dollar.
if i didnt know it was graded 64 i,d say it was definitely a gem (65 or better).
what makes it a 64 and not a gem 5+?

leave as is and just call it undergraded.
i,d ask 5 money for it if i was looking to sell.
its a real beaut imo

Smittys · October 10, 2004 6:26AM

There are a few hairlines on the portiat but the feilds and clean as a whistle, personally I think it's a 65, but hey who am i to judge NGC.
The only other tought is PCGS does seem to bring better money9 not sure if I'm going to sell) but it would be nice to know, plus in 65 in more than doubles in price.
What to do, what to do, everyone seem to make a good point.

again thanks to everyone,
Smitty

Goober, it's very nice of you to think about me. If Smittys willing to do that, I would be happy to buy the coin from him.
