How long does it take...?

OnWithTheHunt

Just wondering what is the average time it takes from submitting a coin to Great Collections for PCGS grading to having it appear for auction. One coin was received by them on Sept. 26 and another batch about a week later. How long before I should start obsessively checking the pending items list and hope to see something? Thanks in advance.

A key bit is knowing whether they were submitted as economy or standard or another tier. Economy has been pretty slow overall at PCGS lately. You can see the average turnarounds here: https://www.pcgs.com/statistics

Also keep in mind shipping time back and forth which adds another slow layer. If you optionally include CAC submission add even more time.

Does Great Collections use standard submissions? Don't they get preferential treatment like the other auction houses?

No idea but I figured they would offer different cost levels for their clients.
