In my ANA report I mentioned one of my objectives was to start the crossover process to PCGS.
1) wanted uniformity in slabs
2) the price divide between PCGS and NGC has grown wider since I started collecting
Anyways, this was the commem portion of my crossover. I truly felt all of them would cross but of course I'm biased. The results were 13 out of 16 crossed. The three that didn't cross I was really surprised on one. No complaints all in all.
Getting the Lafayette to cross in 66 was always going to be the challenge. It did! The Hudson as well. I did give up quite a few * coins but it is what it is.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

Good eye, my friend.
Wow -- congrats! Those coins are hard to cross, and that is an excellent success ratio.
Good eye, my friend.
Now the regrade portion of the program can begin : )

It's good to have a plan....
May the regrades be as kind as the crossovers obviously were! Good stuff.

I'm sure you're half-joking about the regrade process. But you might try to get the DNC's in PCGS plastic at "any" grade and then regrade them back to where they belong.
Our host loves all this action.

Wow and nice job! I personally keep my STAR coins in place, since they seem to hold their value, and most of mine did get the CAC approval.
Talk about lovely coins. Your Booker T could be the only example I have ever liked. I think it is one of the ugliest designs of all time.
I would give my left nut for the Pilgrim or Lincoln!
Wow, great results. And gorgeous commems!

Thanks Lance.
Step one was get them into PCGS holders
Step two will be to try to get a few of them upgraded from here. Most of them I think are in the right holders. A few I think are a touch higher.
Step3 on the three DNC's I can go a few different routes but your suggestion is certainly one of them.

Yes, keeping star coins intact was a consideration. In the end the optics and uniformity won out. It's an A.D.D. & O.C.D. thing : )

Thanks all!

Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
I'm not so much impressed with the coins and the success as I am with the speed. how is it some orders are done so quickly and others languish?? nice coins, BTW!!
Because of the level of service. Express because of value. This was done in 7 business days.
Thanks all for the nice words. It's awesome coming from my contemporaries!

If I have to pick one (setting aside rarity and price), I really like that Huguenot. Just smoking.
Also think it's great that you are sharing this process.

Thanks for posting all of the great commems, Mark, they are all great. I think you did very well on the crossovers.......much better than my average. But I am in shock that this is your first submittal considering your experience as a collector.

Yep. First submission to PCGS and I've never submitted to CAC to this point. That will change shortly as well. Just never felt the urge to before and honesty I was a bit intimidated by the process. Then I got to thinking maybe my eye aint what I thought it was.
Just got around to adding my first registry set today as well. Big doings coin wise the past couple of weeks ; )
