First time submitting to PCGS -Does anyone with experience know:
Will I get the Flag or the plain blue label?
Do I get the OGP back is that extra fee
I would encourage you to give PCGS Customer Service a call. I did yesterday and they were quite informative and patient. Here is their number this way you will know the correct answers you seek.
But to answer your last question I also asked that question if they will send back the original OEM boxes they came in. She said yes. Good luck on your submission and grading.

I'm disappointed at how slow the basic shipping is. If it had been sent first class mail through USPS (same cost basically) it would be here by now. As it is, they originally said it should arrive on 11/25, now they've revised it to 11/29. Two weeks after purchase (it shipped 11/15) is just ridiculous!
I originally had a scheduled delivery date of 11/19/19 by end o0f day, but something happened on that date and it changed to "no scheduled delivery date at this time." I assumed it had gone missing, but just now I checked and it said "By end of day on Friday Nov. 22nd. We'll see as I have had bad luck in the past with valuable mint products during shipping.
I had that happen to me before, and it disappeared for several days. It ended up showing up in the end. I assume it was just something with transitioning between FedEx and USPS
Rec'd mine today, yesterday it was scheduled for Mon. 26th delivery which changed today to Saturday the 23rd this morning and when I checked tracking this afternoon it showed it was at my post office and I was able to pick it up! COA number was just under 4500, my nephew received his yesterday and his COA was in the 6200 range. A friend of mine got one of his today in the mail as well- his COA number was at 29,9XX range- very close to the 30,000. Cards must just be thrown in randomly, because both of the higher COA's came from order numbers I know were alot lower than mine. Nice looking coin too.
I got mine yesterday morning. How long can a person wait to have it graded by Pcgs and still get first strike, etc. I do not have a current membership.
I got mine today, supposed to be monday so a day early. I got one of the big boxes, looks like it fared better then some. Its already in the priority box and ready for monday shipping !!

Our hosts PCGS. The NGC seem to be getting more on ebay right now but most of the time it seems PCGS coins go for more in the long run. I also dont like the fact NGC pretty much steals your original box then wants to sell it back to you for $5. That is preety low life stuff to me. I think PCGS should have had a nicer special label for this coin though. NGC does and i get the feeling people like it better. Labels is pretty generic for this coin
my eagle has landed..finally. they had projected sometime next week so I guess I shouldn't complain. I will pay up for shipping next time. Now, the dilemna...to slab or not to slab, that is the question.
Got mine today, finally! Now to decide what to do with it..
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
"Got mine today, finally! Now to decide what to do with it.."
I shipped mine off to our hosts today. It was not easy to resist opening it to see if I got the golden ticket or not. I'll know in a couple of weeks. I just wanted to have it graded after all. I joined the silver level collector club and sent them an extra ten bucks to tip the grader to get a Pf70 and a signed COA . (kidding). Can't wait to get the results! Good luck to you, whatever you decide to do with it.
I sent mine off today also. Fingers crossed. I dont expect a signature. I just hope for a 70. Just being able to get one of these from the mint for $70 is a win for me. Everything else is just gravy.

Thanks! Good luck to you also. What was total grading costs with membership included. I had a silver club level membership but let it lapse some time ago.

"What was total grading costs with membership included. I had a silver club level membership but let it lapse some time ago."
It was $69 membership fee for silver level. roughly $160 total cost for membership, grading and return shipping. We'll see if it was worth it as far as value added goes but it will look nice housed in the PCGS holder. Still way ahead any way you slice it considering the coin cost $70.

Out for delivery by post office
Looks like its been run over, but have in hand.
See above posts re: address/name being accessible through the barcodes.
Otherwise, congrats!
Mine arrived, COA number 05761.

i had something go in limbo on a Friday in transition to USPS then reappeared on Tuesday as out for delivery.
The USPS tracking said received on Friday but was not Accepted until Tuesday. Sure Post / Smart Post equals Snail Mail.
"Your delivery schedule has been updated to Tuesday, 11/26/2019."
Agree. Had it been handled by the USPS instead of Fedex "Dumb Post," It would have been delivered by now.

Received, shoved in USPS FRB with submission, and dropped off at PO.

Received mine, boxed it up at the po and sent to our host for a 70!
Now the wait, I probably won't be impatient at all...
