Grades in. Here is a good example of why you should crack 'em before you send them in!!

Suprise, suprise...all 8 coins came back exactly the same grade. Hmmm...what are the chances of that!?!

Hope you put my $250 to good use PCGS.

If you cracked them out, they probably would have come back with lower grades.

Exactly! You know there is no way they could hit it 8 out of 8 like that. I just don't buy it.

Well, I sent five cameos in for designation review and the two I thought should be DCAMs did become DCAMs. PCGS is fair - sometimes.

Not bad, in my opinion.

Yeah, that one was a long shot, but it is the nicest 68-70 half I have ever handled (and we are talking thousands of pieces)...the real reason on this one was that the case was cracked over the front, partially covering the coin, so i figured instead of paying $10 for reholdering, might as well spend a little more on a lottery ticket.

But seriously, the other 7 coins are all 95%+ solid for next grade, with at least 3 being rock solid, jokes if not upgraded and whamo, thanks for the money...no vaseline treatment.

Sometimes I wonder if they even look at submissions like this.

I sent 15 half eagles, one of the toughest coins to grade for re-grade in slab then out of slab. If you want a tough act to follow, both times they all came back the same grade. . Sometimes you might think PCGS knows what they are doing.

three quick observations:

1. all the seven that missed the "95%+ solid for next grade" jump also missed the big money jump, a sort of reverse version of market grading, if you will.
2. this may be just another proof that NGC and PCGS are seeing things more closely than we assume.
3. PCGS uses K-Y Jelly.

Keets, I think these were PCGS regrade attempts, not NGC crossovers. If it were NGC crossovers, the OP would be receiving "you suck" comments!!
