Is this the only "Special" going on at the moment ?

Just Curious.

Boosibri · June 30, 2014 5:18AM

Awesome, one I can use!

CoinJunkie · June 30, 2014 5:24AM

<< Awesome, one I can use! >>

dbcoin · June 30, 2014 5:28AM

FYI - historic crossover rate is about 38%. Been at that steady rate for a couple of years. So on average, send in 5 coins, 2 will cross.

illini420 · June 30, 2014 5:30AM

Cool. I was bummed that I missed out on the last one because my Baseball HOF coins didn't ship before the first strike deadline. But this one I'll use!

djm · June 30, 2014 5:57AM

So, If you have a good eye and all of your coins cross. Then there is no deal??

messydesk · June 30, 2014 5:59AM

This one will get yellow stickied somewhere, as I should be able to use it.

Good point!

cucamongacoin · June 30, 2014 6:09AM

so, can you request to cross at a lower grade?

How come this linklink does not says only NGC certified?

scroll down and click on "guidelines" in the box

jetblack740il · June 30, 2014 6:20AM

Never mind, I did not click on PCGS guidelines.

19Lyds · June 30, 2014 6:22AM

Oh Goodie!

Yet one more quarterly special that I cannot nor will not use since I rarely purchase non-PCGS Slabbed coins which is kinda what PCGS wants anyway.

I'd much preferred the 1 free grading quarterly special since I could at least feel a value for my CC Membership.

Boosibri · June 30, 2014 6:26AM

<< so, can you request to cross at a lower grade? >>

You select a minimum grade

mozin · June 30, 2014 6:31AM

<< so, can you request to cross at a lower grade? >>

I also want to know this.

dbcoin · June 30, 2014 6:41AM

<<

Isn't there a 1% fee to cross? In the case of a lower grade, wouldn't you be better off cracking and submitting?

When submitting raw coins, one does not only need to consider a lower grade, but one must also consider a genuine holder.

pocketpiececommems · July 3, 2014 12:50AM

Does this mean cross at the grade on the NGC holder or at any grade?

DIMEMAN · July 3, 2014 1:04AM

I'll bet this rate goes up considerably......since they only get fee for ones that cross.

coinbuf · July 3, 2014 1:08AM

Another special that is of no use to me again.

Boosibri · July 3, 2014 1:58AM

Submitted my grading special submission yesterday... Photos of the two I have imaged, Think they will cross at grade?

95-O 25c ex. Newman/Green - VF30 CAC

45-O $5 AU53 CAC

CoinJunkie · July 3, 2014 2:03AM

<< so, can you request to cross at a lower grade? >>

Let's apply logic to this question:

It would increase PCGS's chances of making money, therefore the answer is almost certainly...

oih82w8 · July 3, 2014 2:15AM

I knew that I got this old ngc holder for a reason;

DonWillis · July 3, 2014 2:20AM

'll bet this rate goes up considerably......since they only get fee for ones that cross.

This fee has been in effect for over one year. The crossover rate for the past 12 months is 37% which is about the all-time average.

Grading is independent of the business side of the company. That's another reason you can trust PCGS grades.

mozin · July 3, 2014 2:33AM

Can we specify a cross at a lower grade than what is on the NGC holder?

DonWillis · July 3, 2014 2:44AM

Can we specify a cross at a lower grade than what is on the NGC holder?

Absolutely. This is always an option.

Bayard1908 · July 3, 2014 2:50AM

I let my membership lapse. Can I join now and get the quarterly special, or, did I have to be a member in good standing on July 1st?

Boosibri · July 3, 2014 2:55AM

<< I let my membership lapse. Can I join now and get the quarterly special, or, did I have to be a member in good standing on July 1st? >>

Customer service is a phone call away

Barndog · July 3, 2014 3:14AM

My Newman/Green coin will come to ANA with me for this quarterly special!

DonWillis · July 3, 2014 8:11AM

You can join and participate in the special. Coins have to be submitted by Sept. 30.

DennisH · July 3, 2014 8:13AM

<< Awesome, one I can use! >>

It's been a long time! Thanks Don.

greghansen · July 3, 2014 8:27AM

Great special IMO.

RogerDodger · July 3, 2014 8:34AM

Cool beans. May need to sign up!!

mozin · July 3, 2014 9:11AM

Thanks for the clarification Don. I still have a small number of NGC Busties I will now try to cross, at lower grades for sure. For me, this is the best Quarterly Special ever.

Scootersdad · July 4, 2014 7:29AM

wish they would also allow a couple of other tpg plastic in this special.

CoinJunkie · July 4, 2014 8:41AM

<< Can we specify plus grades as the minimum? Ie only cross my ngc ms67 to ms66+ or better? >>

I imagine so. I've done that on crossovers in the past.

<< Can we specify higher grades, ie cross my old holder ngc ms66 only if ms66+ or better? >>

Unless the rules have changed, I don't believe that is allowed.

DonWillis · July 13, 2014 4:52AM

Can we specify higher grades

No. The same rules apply as always for Crossovers.

You cannot specify a higher grade. It's possible you could get one. It occasionally happens but not often and cannot be a requirement.

Can we specify plus grades as the minimum?

Absolutely, as long as the grade is the same or lower than the current grade. Lots of people attempt to cross a 66 to 65+ for example.

For me, this is the best Quarterly Special ever.

Thank you.
