    This would have been great...a couple weeks ago! I have two orders going through the gauntlet right now. Grandfather the orders since the first day of summer, 20 June 2020 @BrettPCGS ?

    I agree with the comments below that free return shipping would benefit all of those who meet your timeframe.

    If I had to choose just one, free return shipping. That would benefit every customer who sends coins in, the other two are just a small subset of customers.

    A few ideas:

    1. Grade 4 get 5th free (or something like that)
    2. 50% off TrueViews
    3. Grade 4 get 1 PCGS Banknote grading at x% off
    4. Get sad stickers on any body bags, lol

    I like free shipping and the variety attribution, but with #5, do them all.

    If you could grandfather my order in, (arrived june 24th). That would be amazing!

    I liked the free return shipping. If I would add anything, maybe free upgrade to Gold Shield service with submission.

    Actually I think all coins that grade AU50 are upgraded to MS65 😏

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



    A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

    1. Everybody likes FREE.

    1a. That's how ebay supports their stock price. Free listings, free shipping, free returns, free customer service

    2. There is no such thing as free.

    Have a nice day

    OK, but if PCGS doesn't want to charge me for return shipping, I'll be happy to call it "100% off" instead. B)

    @HeatherBoyd

    I’m thinking of attending the PCGS members only show at the end of August. If I submit a “show gold” order, would that qualify for free shipping if I’m unable to stay and pick it up at the show itself?

    Perhaps if you submit 10 coins or more.

    Show gold service level requires a minimum of 10 coins so that’s not a problem.

    Nice thing about your 50 days of summer is we will probably have snow before it ends.
