Curious..What was the biggest jump in a regrade you have experienced?

[JOBESSI]

I am thinking about sumbitting some coins for regrade, and out of curiosity; what has been the biggest jump you guys have experienced in a regrade attempt? I imagine it would probably just be a single point...but who knows, there could be a cool story out there!

Cracked out of a slab and sat in a Dansco album for years.

I decided to have it slabbed again so I submitted raw.

Original slab AU58 came back MS62

I haven't had good luck with simple regrades, but have with cracking out and resubmitting.

 

I've had a couple of Lincoln proof crackouts go from 65 to 67.

[johnny9434]

i never had that happen (yet)

[jom]

Usually, one grade up...a number of times.

 

I got a non-FH to a FH once that probably had the biggest VALUE jump.

 

Then again, I also had a coin go from MS62 to Genuine....that was a BIG HURT.

my best regrade/crossover was an 1862 trime graded MS63 Old ANACS, cracked out and sent to NGC came back MS65. That was a nice surprise!

[RWB]

I once saw a large, older dealer jump about 6-inches when he got back a regrade at a show…does that count? (No...he was angry.)

wow! Usually it's the other way around!

[Mort2112]

Is if possible to re-sumit to NGC an MS 65 that I think is a VAM 2? Will they re-grade it if they agree?

[physics-fan3.14]

I had a 65FBL regraded to a 65+* FBL. That's really the only one I've ever done.

[Raisethis2]

 

 

I had an 1889 Morgan that was in an awful beat up slab. I cracked it out and shipped it to NGC for regrading and included the original tag from the slab in the flip.

It came back graded exactly the same. Imagine that?

So you're saying he didn't actually grab his hat and do a little jig?

[RWB]

Nope. I think his coin went down, judging by the jumping and swearing. I've forgotten how it was but he's still in the business.

[gmarguli]

In holder regrades, I think 4 grade points and that was very recently. Not super expensive price difference, but still a nice ~$2K jump.

 

Crack outs and assuming nothing done to the coin (cleaning), many years ago I had a VF25 regrade AU53. The VF grade was just insanely low. I've also had some wild swings on esoteric stuff and countermarked coins.

[SkyMan]

An 1858 FE cent. It was in an NGC MS64. It was cracked out and sent to PCGS. It came back a MS65.

I had a buffalo nickel in PCGS VF-35 get dropped to an ANACS F-12... and then get bumped into an NGC VF-20 holder. Yes, the same coin at those three different grades.

 

I also had an ANACS VF-30 undergraded bust half get body-bagged by PCGS (for being "bent" ) and then end up in an NGC EF-40 holder.

 

Both of these scenarios happened a long time ago. Things are different now, I am sure.

I'm guessing a 1920's S mint? I've seen some wild grade swings on these.

[$ilverHawk]

I recently had an 1826 Bust Half Dollar cracked out of a PCGS "94" surface alteration genuine grade regrade at AU58.

Jumps of 1 or 2 grades are not uncommon for in-holder regrades. I have had coins jump 5 grades when cracked out.

[PO01 Commem]

I had a SEGS XF45 Maryland that I cracked out and it came back as PCGS MS62. Not what I was looking for.

[AnkurJ]

MS63 to AU58

AU58 to MS62

AU53 to XF45

 

ALL different coins.

[Nutmeg Coin]

I have had rare $20 gold coins go from XF45, AU50, early holders to AU58 years ago. There is quite a bit of variability of grading; but generally it is too much trouble submitting again.

[e1cnr]

does a details problem coin to actual grade count?

[PO01 Commem]

I've had details to grade as well. All circulated.

[Tradedollarnut]

AU58 rattler to MS65

[orifdoc]

Semi-key peace dollar PCGS OGH MS63 --> PCGS MS64+

 

Crackout. Not huge, but covered the whole submission.

[Nutmeg Coin]

A couple months ago I had a Saint no grade for cleaning at NGC. I put it on a windowsill for a few weeks, sent to PCGS where it graded MS64 and it CAC'd too.

 

If you tried submitting a details grade coin in the holder to the other service good luck! "Well, well, well, look at what the cat dragged in!" I can imagine the grading department saying.

[James_OldeTowne]

I also know someone who got a 1927-S quarter in an MS-64 holder regraded to MS-64 FH. He made $45,000 and bought a new car.
