I do not know for sure how many will upgrade, as PCGS has been very tough of late,
However, I expect at least 7 upgrades to plus, or a higher number, from the total.I will report
the results on this Forum first. So stay tuned in.

After looking at your collection , most of those coins are stunning to say the least, I am very interested in knowing your results, with photos of course.

The wait is just terrible. This part must be the
agony, I am hoping for the ecstasy
to soon begin.

After all appropriate coins have been reviewed by PCGS for upgrade, then will the ruthless
deleting of coins from the collection that, though nice, do not measure up to the standard
desired for the collection.

PCGS is no longer playing the upgrade game. On 21 submissions, I got back 18 NO CHANGE, NADA!
the last three have yet to be returned. It would seem that PCGS is not willing to admit that they made a
grading mistake. Thus If one leaves the coin in its original PCGS Holder, then no upgrade or down grade.
If you crack out the coin, you could get a down grade. Crossovers at same grade, even if warranted probably
aint gonna happen. If you agree to a one point drop in grade, the coin will probably pass. We go thru such
periods from time to time. Right now, it is a most difficult time for regrades, so be forewarned.It is much more
cost effective to go for a CAC sticker rather then spend a bundle in the forlorn hope of an upgrade.To say that I
am disappointed, is to be a gross understatement. I do not intend to send any more coins to PCGS for upgrade
in the foreseeable future.

I have noticed this for a long time. Did you submit or a dealer? If there is a huge price jump from one grade to the other you can rest assured the coin will not grade higher! Sorry to hear bear
