I am a new PCGS member

I got this message today on my PCGS app. Does anyone know how long it will take from this point to get a grade result. Thanks in advance for the helpful information.

Express shouldn't take too long. That must be a heck of a nickel.

The answer to that requires a crystal ball!

There is no ball park

I noted on my last few orders that the grades were available about the time they went into QA, which may have been a couple weeks from Encapsulation. It may all depend on what service level you used (mine was Modern or Modern value). A few posts here about how backed up they are, extended grading times and all.
You seem to have 1 coin, but theres probably a ton of other orders in their queue too.
YMMV. Good luck.

I used express

I typically see grades during the QA step, my guess is they do the quality checks and once they passed the grades are released. I don't typically use express so not sure how expedited it will be. I have 2 submissions in now a regular and a modern value, that have been there since mid December and are still in the grading step, they are backed up as others have mentioned.

you needed to write that on the outside of your package or it will delay it by quite a bit by express standards. tbh, from the day you shipped to the day you recieved, it could be 2 weeks, maybe 3. there are variables these days. please post your results/tv image when you get em. i wanna see a 1926 nickel that is worth expressing AND sending off all by itself AND buying a new membership. what is that, $250 in fees?

let's speculate. it is either ddo, ms66 or better, MONSTER toning or since you are new, au58.

Yes I wrote express restoration. The history is the nickel is graded ms 65 old holder. JA told me the coin has a look of a much higher graded coin but could not pass CAC due to a light white pvc. So I am all in at about $200 so far. If I get ms 66 with a green sticker my coin is worth close to $600 instead of the $170 I paid. 67 a $2500-3000 coin.

I will post results and new photos as soon as I know something
