Opinions, Cross over To PCGS?? 1812 O.101

harveypb · September 28, 2012 5:04AM

I have this ANACS VF30 1812 O.101 and I'd like your opinions about sending it out to PCGS
to be crossed over into one of their slabs. It would be worth more $$$ in a PCGS slab when it
comes time to sell. Your thoughts... TIA Harvey

i'd be surprised if i didn't go down in grade for the cross
.

Would it be worth it even if PCGS did drop the grade 5 points??

TIA Harvey

What are PCGS 20/25/30's with the same O# selling for? Are you a ton of $$$ into it and how quick are you looking to sell? Do you want to put another $25 or so dollars in it?

Try listing it in that slab at what you want for it first. The few old ANACS like that that I listed at PCGS price guide prices sold. They were Walkers I had from long ago.

I would be hard pressed to grade that coin higher than VF-20. The reverse is better, but that does not matter. The obverse looks like a "Fine-18."

I don't think that it will cross as a VF-30.

Nice coin. I have always had good results crossing old small anacs to PCGS....some even upgraded.

I cross because I want to put them in the Rgeistry. If not just keep it as is.

I'd keep it as is !!!

I think it would cross at VF-20 to 25.

RichieURich · September 28, 2012 9:54AM

Just my opinion, but I think a PCGS VF-20 of this coin is worth more in the marketplace than an ANACS VF-30.

But of course, it's your coin, and your decision.

IMHO, it wouldn't cross at that grade... and I've attempted/succeeded in crossing many circulated Capped Bust halves.

It'd definitely make it in a VF20 holder. It has a slim shot at 25.

Nice coin, by the way. I'd be happy to own an example of that overdate in any grade!

For what it's worth...here's one pcgs graded 35

of course the 8 is a bit too small

TwoSides2aCoin · September 28, 2012 3:21PM

I think the higher value is more a component of finding 2 bidders at the right time, than the right holder any time.

Wowzers! I need that coin!

I think that PCGS would probably grade it VF20 since they put more weight
on the obverse. I'm going to have to decide if I think its better off in a PCGS holder
as a VF20 or in its ANACS holder as a VF30. I bought it in 1999 for under $4500
so I would still be ahead no matter what I decided to do....

Thanks to all for their opinions...

If you every plan to sell it I would cross it over to PCGS or NGC. Many CBH's collectors would love to have this in their registry. Me included.
