Crossover recommendation

[prudden]

Hey all,

I'm sending in another small batch to NGC. I've got a few crossovers.They are 3 different companies slabs.Do you all recommend taking them out of the slabs first?I've got two in ACG slabs.One PCI and this one in the picture. Thanks

Break them out of the slabs .

I would remove them from their slabs rather than crass them over. Also, be prepared for potentially significant downgrades on them.

When did the Immigration and Naturalization Service get involved in numismatics?

Apparently in 1988,according to the back of the slab. They are based in D.C too. Must be them.

 

This is pretty much all I could find out about them. I think they were an investment company.

 

36. INS (International Numismatic Society Authentication Bureau) 1975 - 1992?

 

And this:

The Greysheet's biggest weakness is that it ignores the current state of the grading services. It ranks some of the services in terms of how the market values coins in their slabs. But it fails to rank SEGS, ACG, and NTC, three grading services that have a significant market presence. And it ranks two grading service with virtually no market presence, INS (International Numismatic Society Authentication Bureau), which folded around 1992, and NCI (Numismatic Certification Institute), which folded around 1988. Whether deserved or not, this creates an aura of unreliability over all of its data.

There was once a "International Numismatic Society". They slabbed their own stuff, similar to Blanchard in New Orleans.

How could it possibly create an aura of unreliability when the companies you cited are (were) notorious for overgrading. In my opinion, their "market presence" is based on the old adage professed by P.T. Barnum, "There's a sucker born every minute!"

The plastic these coins are in is worthless. Break them out, and submit raw.

This is them I think. Here's the flip side.

Crack'em out.
