Best Of

Why is the hunt/experiment ending?

I was initially drawn to PCGS for three main reasons: 1) The aesthetics of their holders. 2) The TrueViews. 3) Their suite of apps.

With the degradation of the TrueViews and the now sluggish/intermittently working CoinFacts app, I’m not all that keen on sending coins to PCGS. I certainly wouldn’t send them my best material, as I don’t want subpar pics attached to my best coins.

Ultimately, I agree with @P0CKETCHANGE. It seems PCGS either doesn’t understand what’s driven a lot of their business with collectors, or they’ve stopped caring.

We get the position you’re in and the canned reply ….ok…I do think it’s fair for PCGS to actually own the problems and give a real reply with development timeline even though it’s very unclear how the team responsible let it get this far if we are being frank.

Cool to see you here but would appreciate a real reply from PCGS.

“That's one small step for the collector, one giant leap for PCGS”

Does this speed the turnaround time for the submission?

I realize it cuts time required by PCGS entering onto your computer the information from the 3 layer submission form. Some of the lines are small and I suspect some information is as difficult to read as it is to write.

This update has made the submission process faster and easier. It does not affect the submission turnaround time.

Does this now fix the issue of having multiple submissions shipped back together to save on mailing costs? I mean if we can go in and add all our coins at once and it breaks it up into multiple submissions with different grading tiers, why can’t they all be combined into 1 when they get returned to us. NGC figured out a way to accomplish this, why can’t pcgs?

And this one, one of the key dates of the 1 ounce series…
I found this in my box of raw miscellaneous coins, I didn’t even know I had it! One heck of a find!

Got it back from PCGS, it’s a top pop!

60's Spent in excess of $230 recently on a coin I've been searching for for over 30 years....(and my 1st buy from GC)......how idiotic is that? Well....there was the under-bidder. But now I have 74 +1 out of 78 dates/coins/examples for 1938PDS to 1970DS with some state of proof-like fields! Just insane! I need only the 47D, 48D, 49D and 50D and maybe improve on a couple of others.....just nutty!
