Congratulations Lori! Remember everyone: No one here is RANDOMLY sending ACG or PCI grades in for cross with PCGS. If so, the margin would be very narrow for success. Instead, Lori and others are pre-screening (selecting, if you will) the coins that have a shot. The success rate should jump up with this method.
If you look at my website, I actually got two Morgans to cross out of their holders at ANACS, an 87 Morgan in 64 and a 1923 Peace Dollar in 63. Those are the only two out of well over 50 that were randomly bought online (there are a lot which aren't listed on the site). In every case I am aware of an ACG coin crossing, it is a relatively inexpensive coin. For anyone who thinks ACG grading isn't so bad, buy a $200-500 Morgan in an ACG slab from ahcollectibles and see if that crosses.
The bottom picture coin did not cross (dnc). It must mean pcgs thought it was a lower grade then 62. I still dont see it. I think the coin looks like a 63/64.
Why do you think the 1889 was DNC--AT? OOPS! Please ignore my last post--sometimes I get SO CONFUSED! Was thinking BB.
Bill, you were correct the first time. If a coin in another service's holder is determined to be AT or Cleaned, thumbed, whizzed, not original, a piece of crap, etc I believe it just looks to the submitter as a DNC, as they will not crack a coin out just to dump it into a BB. Though, I'm sure they've been tempted
