PCGS Xover grades just in...huh????

Crossover grades just in for two coins: the first, "Artificial Color" on an 1895-O quarter; O.K., I can accept that, I suppose.
But the second was listed, simply, "DNC". Yet for both coins I checked off the "Any" box for minimum crossover grade. What gives?

There's your answer. Sorry about that.
What does that mean? Sure, friends don't let friends buy ACG slabs, but that doesn't mean it can't be considered for a crossover; if that was the case, the PCGS people at the table in Baltimore should never have accepted the coin.

I am suprised at the "artificially colored" judgement; I would think that if anyone had tried coloring this silver coin, it would have looked much better. And no matter how you slice it, the "DNC" designation on the other coin seems weird. PCGS could at least have claimed that the coin was was damaged, cleaned, had altered surfaces, whatever. It smacks of laziness.
Leaves a bad taste in my mouth, too.

I think that ANACS does a better job spoting AT coins than the other services. I think that PCGS is afraid of any high grade coin with neat toning (because of their grading guarantee). What do you think? Nice coin??
On the ACG coin, what's your opinion of the coin? Original? Cleaned? I have bought (and still own) some coins that were ACG certified. Cracked them puppies out ASAP, but there are some decent ACG certified coins out there...you just gotta look far and wide.
You are right about the thing that pcgs should have at least given you a heads-up if the things were not candidates for crossing.
So, what did this whole thingy cost ya? $60??
Of course, the coins cost much more; they were both from the March B&M auction in Baltimore: the ACG dime was Lot 1322 ("Brilliant, lustrous, and well worth having") and the ANACS quarter was Lot 1464 ("A satiny and richly toned gem...").

<< <i>No! MadMarty, BigD5, I have the yellow carbon of the invoice right in front of me, and I did indeed write "Any" in the "Min. Grade" column.

When the coin comes back it should have a red sticker on the dnc slab with the reason why it did not cross checked off or written on the sticker.
They don't put cleaned-wizzed or stuff like that on the submission status page just dnc. Not sure why just the way my dnc's have always been for cross at any grade.
Have you checked a hole in the ground lately? Maybe you are the one who's confused.

Now, the dime from the B&M auction shows a raw coin which they graded ms/65. When did it become an ACG ms/66?
Again, that point may not matter because you were looking for a crossover at any grade.
Have you called PCGS? A phone call (if you actually get to talk to someone) may help answer your questions.

Fountainhead,
What Marty was saying is that, sadly, PCGS frequently pays little attention to that box and that you need to write across the invoice in big letters CROSS AT ANY GRADE."

It became an ACG-slabbed MS66 when I looked at the actual lot. That's one of the advantages of lot viewings and floor bidding; you catch this sort of thing and can take advantage of it: B&M never mentioned in their catalog that the coin was ACG-slabbed.

Strange grading...
HRH's comments about crossover grading at PCGS:
Strange grading, continued....
Me, if I had known that the announced post-April 1st policy of commenting on reject crossovers had been suspended, I would have delayed submitting my coins! I don't see a notice about it on the website!

Sorry for you headaches- hope they get sorted out. What now? NGC? ANACS?
The AT thing like Mr. Hall said is somewhat subjective and others have had coins graded problem free by anacs be rejected by pcgs as AT.
looks pretty nice to me.
