<< <i>I believe if PCGS cracks it and finds something they didn't expect, they don't cross it. You get the coin and the holder back. A lot of coins cross after cracking and resubmitting raw so if I was willing to accept a grade lower, I think I'd resubmit raw and still hope for the same grade; provided either grade justified the monetary expense. >>
That's not my understanding. You're saying PCGS returns a raw coin and a broken holder?
If they crack it that means they intend to cross it at the minimum grade, or better, cited on the submission form. If, after cracking, they find something that really prevents the cross I would think there ought to be some compensation.
Anyone know with certainty what happens? Lance.

I'm pretty sure if they crack it and find unexpected issues that you get the raw coin and a broken holder back and no compensation.

If you send a coin for crossover at a minimum grade and they crack it out you get the minimum grade. If a problem is found that is so severe after cracking it out that they could not grade it at the minimum grade you would get a call and a settlement offer.
PCGS does not crack out a coin and then say OOOPS,,,, we are sorry about your tough luck. You don't get to be #1 operating like that.
Q: How do I submit a coin that was graded by another company? A: The "Crossover" service is for coins previously graded by another grading service. Submit the coins in the holder and PCGS will grade the coins and put them in a PCGS holder only if the PCGS grade meets or exceeds the other grading company's grade. If the PCGS grade is lower than the other grading company's grade (unless a lower minimum grade is specified in the minimum grade column) we will return the coin to you in the original holder. Note: The minimum grade cannot be higher than the current grade on the holder. You will be charged the full grading fee even if your coin does not cross.

Regarding providing details for an unsuccessful crossover.
I attempted to cross a coin last month for a friend, the coin was in an ANACS graded holder. When the results posted, it showed up as Genuine (91 - Questionable Color) I was worried that they had cracked it out and stuck it in a genuine holder, but it was returned in the ANACS holder. I guess my point is that there was a reason provided for why the coin wasn't crossed.

Sure, I couldn't accommodate it all. Yes, some ideas are impossible/impractical. But this is priceless feedback.
I hope someone from PCGS is listening.
