Will these and Should I submit to Cross Grade

Tiny

I have several of these PCI ASEs that I think would cross to PCGS but not the MS grade they have now.
The toning is what I'm not sure about. I feel that these are the normal PCI insert toning but will PCGS
see that too? I have had bad luck trying to get toned coins graded and I'm tired of wasting the money.
Here is a sample of the different type toning I want to submit. I would appreciate to know what y'all think.


Thanks

The ones that say 100% White on the label are pretty cool right where they are... definitely adds some novelty value to have that on the label when it's clearly not the case

It will slab with PCGS no problem. If you are not a gambler like me send them in to cross at any grade.
I crack them so I can get Trueviews. They are typical PCI slab toning.

If you want them to continue o tone then I would leave them in there as they will only get better with time
just as a fine wine does


They look great!!

The PCI holders are worthless, except to protect the coins. If you want to submit them to PCGS, definitely crack them out, and submit them raw. Good luck.

btw, if you have a great looking 1988 let me know

I don't think there is any upside to crossing unattractive toners, no marketable value. ( I see both attractive and unattractive in your pics) I have had 100% success sending the PCI holders
intact and crossing them at any grade. Lowest so far is a 67, assuming that PCI had 67 or better to begin with. I would rather have the graders see the intact slab before coin removal. Think
it provides a level of known history around the holders. A couple that crossed purchased on the BST. Good luck.

I was thinking the same thing....

Your call...but in my experience these sell for more (ebay) in the PCI holders than PCGS...go figure

I agree with Mel. PCGS is pretty open-minded to colorful toning on .999 silver. But if there were any doubt about a particular ASE the PCI holder would help.

It's probably a good idea to lose the PCI holder unless you want to continue the toning progression. More is not always better. Some wine spoils with age.

why waste the money?

My thoughts also, I see no monetary reason to change the slab. But I'm sure that PCGS will be happy to have your money in exchange for some new plastic.
