PCGS Crossover - "Off-Brand" Holders, Before & After - How Will the Grades Compare? 

Hey Ben - thanks for sending those in for me. Appreciate all your efforts and happy with the results. Here is my next idea - let's donate the entire batch to the Campos family fund.

Thank you!!! Just goes to show EVERYONE that GRADING is all in the eye of the buyer and seller! The ONLY THING these services should be used for is to AUTHENTICATE a coin as to being real or not! Each coin must stand on its own merit and until we go back to a system where you have 5 days to return a coin because of disagreement on grade You have proven that being in plastic means NOTHING!!!BTW, with 11 unc. grades who was the genius who came up with a PLUS GRADE....Sheldon never had that!!!!

I'm a little bummed that 1886 got cracked out, those Redfield/Paramount slabs add nice toning over time, and that one was on its way.

Bugs Bunny: “That’s all folks !” Ha, ha, ha !!! Ben, “The Coin Geek’s”🤓 a riot ! 😲 🤣😂🤣

Well, that was interesting. I guess PCGS thought that Franklin wasn't a Bugs Bunny. It looked like one to me. Glad to see that your customer got some upgrades at least. Thanks!

Nice running into your channel 👍 my wife and I just recently came across an estate sale with loads of good stuff. So we just got involved 🤔

That was fun 🎉 too bad about those last few, and be sure to thank your customer for us! Hope he'll have more crossovers in the future because I really like his collection!

I came here for the coins, I'm staying for the Qbert references. A good time as always, Ben.

Now that I know PCGS will cross ICG.... I'm excited. 👍

Love these, very fun. Keep up the great content!

The thing is, even on the ones that dropped a grade should be wins, because the PCGS coins will sell better than higher graded coins in the off-brand holders.

Very good video, and Kool watching.🤠✌️

Hello Ben , I love these cross over videos

I like the Silver Bullion Eagles, I have a 1989 as well.

Why would you take a Paramount Redfield holder and break out, value was in the holder. Also the early ANA holders bring a premium also.

Thanks Ben, always enjoy the crossover videos. It would be interesting to know what happens to the Benjamin Franklin, will you crack it out and resubmit? Kevin

Thank you for allowing me to briefly live vicariously through your coin grading videos submissions and the demonstration of why coin grading is folly for most people. Coin grading opinions are like atomic bombs and playing horse shoes, anywhere around the truth is good enough. I'm surprised you didn't get PCGS' newest coin grading opinion of questionable color for any of the submissions.... and I'm still watching out for an Old Pueblo Coin or Alfred E Neuman round graded by PCGS as questionable color.

I was the ' First ' to watch this video sweet. I really enjoy watching these type cross overs. By the way the 1955 half wasn't a bugs bunny that's why.

Nice! He did well, I think. Cheers!!!

Someone has a lot of money. 90 % of items i would not have spent the grading fee. However ,great video.

Good vid Ben , 👍👍

Fun times and interesting results! I think they may have thought the Franklin wasn’t a bugs bunny

God Bless the Old Pueblo

Anacs imo is the best graders out there in these times.

Why did it matter on the Bugs? Wouldn't they grade it even if they disagreed with the variety? Did you pay extra for the variety attestation? Thought you were crossing regardless of grade? Lot of money spent for MS60 81-S's

Thanks again. I love Franklins proof . deep cameo. even more hope tp buy one from you soon.

How could anyone crack out a Redfield and then to top it off it didn't even get the pedigree on the label. That Redfield lost a ton of it's value to come back a regular MS 63.

I would never have a raw coin graded or even doing a crossover as a collector first. Don’t get me wrong but buying a coin that is already graded to me is a better investment in the long run. Another problem I see with some grading companies is what they are calling a CAMEO or even a DEEP CAMEO finish versus what PCGS shows, the coins I’m referring to are silver dollars from 1878 to current.

Hi Ben would you tell me please? Do you think that the presence of full torch bands matter on early business strike and proof Roosevelt dimes? Does it effect the grade? Thankyou

I would be curious as to what means PCGS & NGC use to crack open other grading company holders. I wonder if they use the same means of clippers and a screwdriver.

Hi, Ben. Looks like, overall, you won. I wouldn't want to cross you! 🦉

Over all that wasn't a bad cross over even tho that was definitely a P.L at the least . But great video really enjoyed it.

Now what, send them off to CAC?

Nice coins, weird about the coins not slabbed, And when you paid to have it done.

'Posterity' is pronounced with a short 'o' only, as in 'stop' or 'clock'.

Its like the graders cant all good scores regardless, so they nitpick. For another test, I'd like to see that Franklin resubmitted, bet that comes back slabbed.

#500 on the like!

Wonder why that '55 Bugs Bunny didn't cross?

Hey Ben

Fierst damageclooks like it was in a neckless mount

I think 1881-S non-toned Morgan keep in the off-brand holder can sell a better price than PCGS MS62. Because these holders are rare in the oversea market.

I am floored that the PGA slab didnt come back cleaned.

Wow, that '55 Franklin didn't cross? It wasn't even graded in the old holder. Is it a faked Bugs Bunny error? No clue... Unless it's "not genuine" it should be in a holder. The two Morgans should have crossed or at least as holdered "genuine".

Hey

i actually have a bunch of coin graded from pga are they legit?

By my math, we were up a total of nine grades overall: 1 - 1878-S Morgan PGA MS60 (MS61) +1 1 - 1886 Paramount Morgan MS65 (MS63) -1 1 - 1958 Franklin Blanchard PR65 (PR67) +1 1 - 1960 Franklin PCI PR67 Deep Cameo (PR66) Even 1 - 1961 Franklin ICG PR63 (PR62) -1 1 - 1943 WLH ANACS ANA MS63 (MS64) Even 1 - 1937 Buffalo PCI Photo MS60 (MS64) +4 1 - 1957 Lincoln PCI Photo PR64 (PR66) +6 1 - 1955 Bugs Bunny Franklin Global BU (DNC) 1 - 1888-O Morgan INS MS65DMPL (MS64) +5 1 - 1897 Morgan INGS MS65 (MS65) +5 1 - 1989 ASE PCI Photo MS65 (MS69) +9

*FIRST*

I have been involved in the Numismatics Hobby for more than 60 years and have never heard anyone use the term, “skin” referring to a coins surface. The terms luster, and frost, are most common, never heard of skin.👎

The Morgans had slot machine damage from Vegas.

Crossover Should Not be Allowed let the same Coin Grading Company to Grade Correctly. No charge because of their Mistake. NUMERICAL Grade is just only an opinion of a Grader.. Buy the Coin not the Holder... Ha ha ha. 😂🎉

awesome results!
