Is There Any Way to Tell How Many "Attempted" Crossovers Were NGC?

BustHalfBrian

I know there are online statistics for how many coins were attempted to cross from one TPG to PCGS, but how many of those coins were ANACS and ICG? Wouldn't grades from these 'lesser' TPG's skew the results?

Are there any stats on how many NGC coins, specifically, were attempted or successfully crossed to PCGS?

And how high do you think the success rate would be? Instead of ~40% for all TPGs, do you think it would be more like 50%? 60%?

Just a thought

Interesting question. I am sure PCGS has this information, but doubt they will publish such. It would certainly be of interest to me.

My guess is attempts to cross NGC holdered coins far exceeds ANACS and ICG. So much so that removing ANACS and ICG from the equation would have a minimal effect on the success rate. Maybe a few points?

Just a guess.

I heard a number at some point during the show but can't remember now and sony want tho throw out a misleading guess.

No. Those cards are held very close to the chest.

Good question. And agree with lkeigwin.

Most of them

The unstated assumption here is that a higher percentage of NGC coins cross. ANACS & ICG, less often.

I wouldn't be surprised if they're all fairly close.

The numbers probably closely resemble the market share of each. No magic here...

I was reviewing the Shared Orders Page earlier this week and the letters DNC came up so often I thought I was at a convention.



In the end crossing coins is just a revenue tool. What would it matter?

I would even argue that coins that DID cross are of a higher quality than raw submissions because they are more likely to be more conservative on cross-overs.

Out of 11 coins I crossed this year, only 4 didn't get CAC stickers (for whatever reason).

Not earth-shattering, but a data point nevertheless...

And while we are at it, a list of cert numbers that did not cross.

Depends on how often you believe most top graders have jumped ships over the years.

OldIndianNutKase

I think the real question is how many NGC coins crossed at the same grade. And what percentage crossed at one grade lower.....two grades lower. Did any cross at a higher grade?
