Have you resubmitted using PCGS re-grade service and been successful at an upgrade?

I am curious on experiences also, I have some to submit in Long Beach. Doing crossovers at FUN...

Yes. I went four for five when I sent some of my nicer coins in. I was happy with the results.

This was one of them OGH to PR68CAM

what was the re-grade fee? same as regular submission grading?

I understand they keep all designations, i.e. First Strike as well on new label.

My success rate over 10 years and about 30 coins is around 33%. But remember: I've only sent in coins that I thought really did have a chance to upgrade (except for one that was in a 3-coin group that I used to "set up" the one I really wanted to upgrade. Yes, the target coin upgraded, but so did the setup coin.)

Not really, but I've submitted some "shots" with extra freebies, and a grand total of maybe 10-15 coins. I've tried
it with some green label coins where the holder had major cracks or gouges, instead of the straight reholder.
I did get an upgrade on a crossover a couple years ago. I haven't submitted much of anything in the past year.

<< <i>When HRH did the Q&A a few years ago he quoted approx 5% error rate on grading. Which to me means 2.5% are graded to low and 2.5% to high.

The question then is is your coin one of the 2.5%? and will PCGS agree? Better bet would be to crack it out and send raw. >>

True, but lately it seems there's a chance the coin might come back GENUINE for questionable surfaces based on some experiences posted here.
I guess when you play the game, you have to live with the results until the next submission

Personally I prefer to submit coins for grading raw but there have been some successful upgrades from coins that were submitted already graded. I know of instances where upgrades worth in the five figures have happened on regrade submissions so upgrades do happen.

I've been successful at almost everything I do. Of course , I failed miserably the first dozen times

I am lucky about 30% of the submissions.

Yes on multiple occasions.

About a month ago I had 5 out of 11 coins upgrade on a submission. I tried cracking a coin out and sending in raw once--didn't work out.

Peaceman · January 6, 2010 2:45AM

None.. and there have been some really nice coins I've sent in too.....

renomedphys · January 6, 2010 3:02AM

Never on a regrade. Nice upgrades on crackouts, though. Once had a 65RB 19-s cent go 65RD on crackout. Same submission yielded a twice 91'd 11-s into a 65RB holder.

Next crackout submission yielded 91's on an ex PCGS 65RD 1915, and an ex NGC 66RB 1912-s, so there are definite losers.

I have only sent in two coins for this service.
Both coins came back with higher grades.
63 to a 64
62 to a 64
