Keep this in NGC or try crossover PCGS

[JIM F.]

It's my understanding that PCGS will assign an actual numerical grade on these. Correct me if I am wrong.

 

Any suggestions on whether or not so send to PCGS for crossover?

To my eye, the coin looks cleaned and damaged, in addition to being chop marked.

yes, but for about $50 it could be in a PCGS UNC details slab

RYK is absolutely correct. The coin has been cleaned and damaged. PCGS will only grade chop marked Trade Dollars if they have no other problems with them. It would be pointless to attempt to cross this coin to PCGS. A PCGS uncirculated details slab will not add any value to it.

The chop marked PCGS graded Trade Dollars that I have seen had one or two VERY inconspicuous chop marks that were neatly hidden in the design. I don't think that PCGS would grade this piece which has two chop marks that are really pounded into the coin. As others have stated the coin has also been cleaned. Don't bother with PCGS. They won't grade that coin.

Keep it in NGC plastic. It won't get a numerical grade

because of the issues mentioned already.

[RWB]

Why? It has a grade: "Unc."

NGC and PCGS are both reputable companies with high reliability. The coin is certainly genuine as described. Why not buy a book with the money you don't waste?

I also believe this piece has other problems that will cause it not to grade numerically.

[Mozin]

No doubt about it, keep this coin just as it is, and be happy with it.
