ANACS crossover

koinkrazy

I just received back some NGC and ANACS crossover attemps. One coin I sent in for crossover about 6 months ago, an 1853 no arrows quarter ANACS ms-62, came back cleaned. I sent it along with this group and it came back in a PCGS ms-63 holder. Its very frustrating to me that they can have such a difference in opinions. I had 6 out of 15 in the most recent group cross, so does that mean I just keep on sending these in and more will cross next time? Is this just how the game is played?

AHHH, grasshopper...You are learning early in the game.

There are no hard and fast rules that determine whether or not a coin has been cleaned. This is the arguement against third party grading.

Given it's subjective nature, I'm impressed that many companies are as consistant as they claim to be.

If you're willing to play the game, they're willing to take your money. What incentive do they have to cross it the first time, knowing that more than likely they'll get another fee for the same coin?

True. Even when there are no conflicts of interest about dealers owning stakes in TPGs and other stuff, there's still the potential conflict of interest in bodybagging and undergrading coins in order to either (a) cover their butts in the case of some condition rarities, or (b) encourage additional resubmi$$ions.

That's just a part of the game, unfortunately, and even if it's not an intentional cash grab, sometimes it feels like one...
