Did Ok On Some Crossovers

[leeg]

Posted this "Across The Street" and figured I'd share it here also:

 

Had some Free Grading Vouchers so I sent five coins in for crossover. Four out of five crossed. I sent them all in as cross at same except the 3CS, cross at any. I have always had pretty poor results so pretty happy about these. The only coin that didn't cross was this Texas in NGC MS65. PCGS graded it "Artificial Color". If this is AT then the Doctors are better than any of us thought. Don't know how someone can AT a coin like this:

 

 

 

Heres a nice Type II 3CS that was in a "New" ANACS holder as AU53. I needed an 1857 3CS for my Registry Set and this one was priced right:

 

PCGS AU50

 

 

Heres a nice 1893 Colombian Commem I've had forever. It was in an NGC MS63 holder. PCGS agreed with NGC on the grade. Pretty nice coin for the grade.

 

 

 

This is the "sweetest" PR63 BN Matte Proof Lincoln I've ever seen. I bought this one Raw and sent it to NGC. NGC graded it PR63 BN and PCGS agreed. Deserves at least a 64 holder. Pic's are Marks, mgoodm3:

 

 

 

I purchased this coin from "The Coin Shop" at ANR. I sold the coin to John, Dizzyfoxx. Then repurchased it from him. NGC graded the coin MS66RB. I was worried about this one. Has a nick on Lincolns nose and right in front of his nose. Also has a small nick on the bottom reverse. These nicks are more dramatic in my large pic's. I am very happy to say that PCGS graded the coin as a MS66RB and is now a POP 1 coin.

 

 

 

I was on the fence on whether I wanted to renew my CC membership that expires this month. I've had some horrible experiences with PCGS and just didn't feel the cost justified the anguish I've experienced. Last week I weighed the pro's and con's around everything and decided to renew my Platinum Membership. I love coins, these boards, and PCGS;) and feel I made the right decision, for me.

 

"Happy Collecting"!

They're all very nice coins, but I particularly like the matte proof Lincoln. I'm not familiar enough with commems to comment on the ?AT but look forward to seeing what others have to say.

Please send the MPL on over to me.

 

Great coins, Lee...Mike

The toning on the Texas doesn't look particularly "artificial" to me! I think it should have crossed. Looks like you did very well.

I'm assuming the 1913 Lincoln that now resides in a PCGS MS66RB slab would be a nice moneymaker for you. Even though it is the same coin, we all know how the market works. The Texas just looks odd, and sometimes the TPGs will bag a coin that doesn't look as they expect.

[MAULEMALL]

I agree with James ....I think they screwed up on the Texas.... I sold one about 4 years ago in a Rattler that could be it's twin.

Thanks for all your comments guy's!!! Got the coins back from PCGS today. The images come out much nicer in the PCGS Plastic than NGC's. NGC needs to improve their plastic. Figured I'd share the images here:

 

 

The 1911 PR Lincoln is tough to image for me. Mark's pic is much better.

The Texas that didn't crossover is a cool coin

I love this Lincoln. Great job on the crossovers. Don't know what to tell you about the Texas. Try again? The services love that.

 

I have been putting Mr. Goodman to work here lately doing images for me. He does do great pics.

Looks like Lincoln had to sneeze!

You did very well on the crossovers. The Texas might grade on a second try, but it does look a bit off.
