I've received the grades for my first ever submission to PCGS, sent in under the World Coin Crossover Special, consisting of mostly German State and Swiss Canton coins. Results can be seen here, with 17 out of 20 coins crossing. I've extremely happy with the results.
A few words on those that did not cross ...
Line 9, 1672-SHS 6 Kreuzer, Austria / Breslau
NGC graded MS65, DNC
The one big disappointment. Krause has moved this coin to the German State of Silesia, though the NGC says it's Austria, and it looks like PCGS does the same. Has a WINGS sticker, which is discussed here. I thought this one was very likely to cross, so I'll have to take a close look at it when it gets back.
Line 11, 1910 5 Centimes, France, Essai (Maz-2210)
ANACS small white holder MS66, DNC with a minimum grade of MS65
Wasn't sure how PCGS would react to the significant die polish on this coin, so I put a minimum grade of 65, though I feel the 66 grade is appropriate with an outside chance at 67. So, it should have crossed with margin. The ANACS holder partially covers the rims, so maybe this had an impact. I think I'll resubmit this one raw at some point.
Line 16, 1833 6 Deniers, Swiss Canton of Geneva
NGC graded MS65, DNC
I already have one in PCGS MS67, but this coin has a different variety of key that I hadn't seen before. It can remain in the NGC holder.

Or, just sell it to me! Name your price
Thanks Roman ... and thanks again for the submission advice
The two plus grades are actually minuses, as both were one grade higher in their NGC plastic. I thought 8 were overgraded or borderline, so I specified a minimum grade. One was the France 1910 5 Centimes I discussed above that DNC'd. 4 downgraded, and the other 3 crossed at the same grade. The 4 downgrades ...
Line 3, 1859 Kreuzer, Bavaria
NGC graded MS67, specified a minimum grade of MS66
Bought this one thinking it was an MS66, and PCGS agreed.
Line 5, 1831 3 Kreuzer, Nassau
NGC graded MS67, specified a minimum grade of MS66
Bought this one thinking it was an MS66, and PCGS gave it MS66+.
Line 17, 1839 1Centime Billon, Geneva
NGC graded MS66, specified a minimum grade of MS65
Thought this one was borderline, PCGS gave it MS65+
Line 18, No Date-K Kreuzer, St.Gallen
NGC graded MS66, specified a minimum grade of MS65
Another borderline, and I really wanted this one to cross. Interestingly, PCGS says it's KM-50, while NGC said KM-49.
Also, had one upgrade ...
Line 13, 1826 Batz (Batz variety), Bern
NGC graded MS65
A nice coin, won't look out of place in the MS66 PCGS holder.

Wonder if mine got lost ;/ it was rcvd a few days before yours...oh well.
As for pics ... my lack of camera abilities is what prevents me from being a prolific poster. My threads typically follow this pattern:
- Me: Hey, check this out
- Others: Ya, that's neat, can you post some pics
- Me: No, sorry everyone, haven't figured out coin photography yet
