as a slowly collect as many star graded gold coins i can get my hands on, i found another way......

and that way is the "cross over" thats right im now getting so impatient waiting for star graded gold coins to come up for auction that im searching out pre graded coins to switch over to NGC in hope of receiving a star grade

and for my first attempt i feel i hit the nail on the head so to speak! 1 for 1 on cross overs for star grade....

it was previously a 1899 MS61 ANACS graded coin in a new blue anacs slab.....i saw the coin and thought she could switch and to my amazment and happiness she did.....now an NGC 1899 MS61*

yes i know not an expensive coin but i just wanted to try my luck and my eye at picking these coins and happily i got this one right.....although i do think she is a 62 im not that fazed

as only 4 coins in the 1899 series have got a star grade and i picked one!!!....she will now sit happily in an ever growing sea of golden stars!

happy collecting
