Re "What percentage of your certified personal collection is slabbed PCGS?", next ? -- wh

I think a good follow-up question to "What percentage of your certified personal collection is slabbed PCGS?" is this:

Of the PCGS coins in your collection, what percentage were purchased in PCGS slabs, and what % were purchased raw or in other slabs and crossed over?

Of my PCGS coins, probably 85% were purchased that way, the rest crossed over from NGC or ANACS. I typically won't try and cross a coin, however, unless it would be an upgrade to my registry set of pl/dmpl morgans.
I brake for ear bars.

    80% were originally PCGS

    10% were NGC and crossed

    10% were raw then slabbed

    It was not intended to be a tough question. Everyone seems to have had no problem determining the percentage of coins slabbed by PCGS in their collection.

    My follow-up question is simply aimed at finding out whether people bought them in PCGS slabs, or bought them raw, or bought them in another slab and crossed them over. Well, maybe that is confusing. image

    I have not tried crossing any of the NGC coins in my collection. No reason to. The coins are not for sale.

    Maybe 5% of my coins were purchased already slabbed by PCGS. The other 95% were mostly purchased raw, with a couple that were cracked out of other TPG holders. Most of the coins I crackout to submit are to resell.

    I collect only New Orleans Gold coins out of the 50 different coins I have 28 were bought as PCGS coins 16 were bought as NGC coins and crossed, and 6 were bought as NGC coins that have not crossed and probably only 1 out of the 6 will ever cross.image

    100% pcgs was at one time about 10% crossed from NGC and/or ANACS. Now about 3% crossed.

    Probably about 40% of my personal collection is PCGS. Maybe 30% is NGC. The rest is raw. Most of those items are tokens and medals, which the major services either don't certify, or they don't do a great job of certifying them.

    As for crossovers, I've never crossed over a coin in my life, and don't intend to start. It's an anal retentive, economically wasteful practice to spend good money on holders so that you collection looks uniform. Those who get their coins re-holdered so that the labels are all the same color are close to certifiable IMO. When your collection is sold no one is going to give a rat's tail about that.

    I only do crack outs for higher grades if I am getting ready to sell a coin and I think that it will work. If I'm going to sell a coin in the foreseeable future, it stays in the same holder, even if I think it will up grade.

    About 65% of my PGCS coins were submitted raw. 5% were crossed from NGC and ANACS.

    I don't crossover coins. I like the coin, not the plastic holder around it.

    None, as I don't sell, I don't have a reason to cross coins to another service to increase resale value. The only reason I slab a coin is for authentication, variety identification confirmation, and protection.

    I have crossed nothing over to PCGS. I haven't consumed the Kool-Aid. image
  • Currently 8% soon to be 18% ( aren't Morgans easy with 100 in collection?) All for registry reasons.
