Horrible thought

What are the chances our host shuts down again? So all our hard fought v75 gold and silver sits and we wait...I need a beer

It’s certainly possible. It’s going to depend a lot upon local conditions to them and if they would be deemed essential. I guess it will also be up to various officials as to how much more damage the economy can handle.

Mgarmy

I remember when they shutdown early on just hit me could happen again.

There is another thread on how badly backed up the PCGS phone line was. It would not surprise me if the jam up was caused by flippers trying desperately to get their new coins slabbed before any shutdown can take place. They can't flip for big money unless the coins are in the PCGS plastic.

Good question. I suspect the decision might be made for them.

Yes, hope you're wrong in your presumption. I do not have a "V75" to arrive but I do have a submission in transition. If it does happen, anyone with ordinal submissions are also capable of some kind of delay. Shhishh

I can't speak for PCGS or California, but things are nearing shutdown levels here in Illinois.

How much more death and misery can the populace at large handle? I suppose that would depend upon how close to you it is/was. The long term economic effects of treating those who don't fully recover as well as the mental trauma experienced by those fighting or otherwise affected by the virus will be enormous.

Absolutely

I’m mostly trying to avoid the aspects of the situation that generate the kinds of posts that the mods want us to avoid.

Concur but in this case, pcgs potentially shutting down as the virus is ramping high at the same time as the quadruple release of coins going to them...definetly coin related😁

Jimnight

I think everyone had in the back of their minds this was coming again.
I know I did.

I've had a reholder sitting in "encapsulation" for a month. I call and get a recording that they've maxed out on their phone call allotment (or something like that).

I'm gonna hunker down with plenty of beer, catch up on some reading, some sleep and just enjoy the coins via the internet.

PCGS got classified as an essential business, so they'd be one of the last to be shut down, I'd wager.

I shop, I work, I play.... every day.... I hope a shutdown does not occur...the last one did not help. The only help will be herd immunity and the vaccine.... otherwise, it will continue to spread, people will get sick, some die. Life is for the living. Cheers, RickO

Mgarmy

Vaccine is necessary for herd. Means folks need to take it. Threshold for herd is 60-70% of the pop either needs to be vaccinated or have survived covid and developed long term antibodies. No more me...just we. Wish Ca had been picked as a trial vaccine state so our hosts could have gotten vaccinated.
