crossover grades at last: 1 up, 1 down, 1 DNC

DennisH

Turned in 3 coins for Economy crossover at the FUN show in January. Finally called on Monday to see what the hangup was and the customer service person agreed they were taking too long. She said she'd try to expedite things... and out popped grades today:

1 1 24444461 133919 1888-O $1 Doubled Die Obv USA VF35
(Was an ANACS-40 that I bought knowing was VF35. Only paid VF35 money. But I didn't pay for the VAM-specific attribution PCGS gave me.)
2 1 24444462 9297 1893 50C Columbian USA DNC
(An NGC-63 with gorgeous rim color. Looks 64 to me.)
3 1 24444463 7238 1895-S $1 USA VG08
(Was an NGC-06 that I felt certain was VG08. Score one for me.)

Why did the Columbian not cross? Did you put a min grade?

DennisH

I have no idea why the Columbian didn't cross, and why PCGS doesn't see fit to tell us these things is infuriating.
Yes, I specified a minimum of 63.

Dennis, I had a situation like that before on taking so long on grades with variety. I called in and just like in your case the next day the results were posted. MAKES YA THINK.

Not bad Dennis - bummer about the Columbian half - but you got to add another 95-S to the corral!

There have been several coins added to the corral lately. The herd is now up to 51, not including one cull that I keep around for reasons that are not clear.
