PCI green label and old ICG-how accurate for ms/pr 70 Buffalo $1's?

A dealer has a group of 2001 Buffalo $1's in the PCI green label and old ICG slabs at a decent price.How accurate are these grades likely to be by current major TPG standards?Decent or fat chance that 30% would cross to PCGS at 70?Thanks for your input...

Answer: Yes, if the coins are worthy, we'll put them in MS- or PR-70 holders. The reason PCGS does not offer a crossover service at the 70 grade is that it is impossible to properly evaluate a coin through a layer of plastic. If we were to crack a potential candidate out of a competitor's holder and the coin subsequently failed to qualify as a 70... well, you can imagine the problems that would cause

If you re-read it, it clearly says PCGS doesn't cross them over, and they also won't crack the coins. Buy these at whatever the going rate is for a standard proof. Much as I find the MS/PR70 thing a scam, it's well established that coins outside of PCGS or NGC holders hold no premium as high grade moderns.

I agree.
If you want a PCGS MS/PF 70, then buy them that way. Paying perfectly good money for MS/PF 70 in these other slabs is a complete waste. If you truly just don't want your money, PM me and I will send you a Paypal invoice where you can send your money to.
Now, if you are hoping to sell these for a profit, I see nothing wrong with that, but pay what the going price is for those items and don't try to cross them. You will be glad you listened to the advice in this thread of answers.
Edited to add: Even if they are priced as raw coins, it's still much easier just to buy that one 70 if that's what you're looking for.
