I collect high-grade Lincoln Cents and have been sending in PCGS stabbed coins for cross-over even before NGC changed its policy at the beginning of this year. I've too found that it is quite difficult to get PCGS coins to cross. For copper, NGC is very strict, especially with even the tiniest of spots or contact marks. This is especially true for + coins. Even dropping them down to the next lower grade doesn't help. I've gotten PCGS CAC coins (without a plus grade) to cross but not on the first try. I'll keep trying as long as they don't charge the full price for a coin that doesn't cross. But I admit it is a frustrating and costly process.
