One of my latest goals is to crossgrade almost my entire collection to PCGS. I'm getting very close to this goal, thanks to ajaan who has not only been extremely helpful in expediting my submissions, but he also brought great luck to many and for all this I'm very grateful.

Below, the results. When the coin is a new purchase, it's noted. Otherwise coins were previously in NGC and small Anacs holders.

1930 Greece 10 Dr MS64 crossgrade from Anacs MS62, top pop and single finest in all services. Very rare as such.

1832 Greece 1L MS64BN cross from Anacs

1832 Greece 2L MS64RB cross from Anacs

1832 Greece 1Dr MS65 new raw purchase, top pop and single finest

1911 Greece 2 Dr MS64 cross from NGC, top pop and single finest

1882-A Greece 5L MS64RB cross from NGC
1879-A Greece 1L MS64RB cross and upgrade from NGC
1834 Ionion 1L MS63BN new purchase

1930 Greece 20 Dr MS63 cross from NGC

1868-A Greece 1 Dr MS63 cross from NGC

1878-K Greece 1L MS65RB new raw purchase, top pop and single finest
1869-BB Greece MS64RB cross from NGC

1882-A Greece 10L ANACS MS64 RED DNC, can't figure out why.

Plus a couple of new purchases, one from Jeremy and one from NEN

Switzerland 1888-B 2 rappen PCGS MS66RD tough date, top pop and highesat grade in all 19th century Bern strikes

Ionian islands 1862 1L NGC MS65RED top pop and single finest in both services (will go to a future crossgrade submission)

I'll try to post the missing images as soon as they are done.

Nice coins. I think the 1882-A Greece 10L ANACS MS64 RED didn't cross because with the new PCGS standards, they would call this coin RB. A few years ago it would have been RD IMO.
