Back to the op's stated purpose, with all the criticism of pcgs (and I certainly have voiced some), it is worth commending them for maintaining their status as the premier grading service in the industry. So, thank you for that!

What we need is a good revival. ( not this thread). I don't mean economically : rather productively.
Getting support crew that needs to work onsite could be difficult, considering they are in one of the most beautiful and expensive places in the world. I suspect some of their customer service calls are being handled remotely.
Just noting for reference as far as turnaround times ...
I sent in 4 orders back in mid-Oct 2021.
3 Express coins came back by end-Oct 2021.
41 Modern Value coins came back mid-Nov 2021.
8 Regular service (Vouchers) came back early Jan.
Still waiting on 14 Modern - in QA currently.
I plan to send 2 Restoration-Modern coins (that I just got back, restoration recommended) as well as over 20 more Modern Value. I figure these will take 3 months-ish, so dont expect them til April or so. Should be a fine spring.
Yeah, covid, supply chain, all that is contributing, I'm aware.
I also frequent a guitar-builder's site, as that is another hobby of mine (coins have dominated my bank acct lately tho). They used to have 12-16 week turnarounds, and are up to 25-30+ weeks. ppl still complain there too.

Just keep submitting orders….they will space out on the return. My wife and I have about 9 orders in with 90 coins….patience is required. I should add when I want some back quickly I send them in Express service!
How quick did you get them back with the express service?
I have 2 coins in express currently. I am at 15 business days and one went through restoration and is at the "being imaged" QA stage, while the other is still in encapsulation.
Did the restoration coin fully grade out yet? What stage is it exactly in?
I just had my coin logged in by PCGS for restoration express service. Please advise
Look on the bright side. You may submit a modern coin in these times and by time you get it back it could be a classic

Walker Proof Digital Album Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

Restoration coin got put in the mail on Monday, the other express coin is still in encapsulation...makes no sense to me.

Yes, and more and more coins stacking up at the graders should drive up prices for all the other coins... TPGs helping hot things up!

A little frustrated my coins seem to be taking an awful long time to get back to me.
Has everyone been experiencing the same lag times, I suppose it is all based on the new normal.
Regardless thank you PCGS for being the Blue Chip; world-class provider of coin grading services.
Order sent October, received by them 11.1
Called late Jan was upgraded to expedited.. order shipped right away.

I just read that this morning. Do they have different grader’s for each tier?

Well, after 3-1/2 weeks in QA, my grades finally popped. Thank you again, PCGS. I feel satiated.....for about 5 minutes!

My express submission is currently at 20 days and still in encapsulation…frustrating.
Thanks so much for that information
