I sent in one coin for grading. It was received March 10th. It’s still in the grading process. How long have you all been waiting? I expect to get my coin back in June hopefully.

Just received my December 15th regular speed order Friday.

I sent in a Econ submission back on 12/22/2021 just received it after calling for two weeks every day they finally expedited it and rec it Friday. The coins didn’t even look like the coins I sent in. I’m taking pic of every submission from now on.

What do you mean, you received different coins than you submitted?
3 months and has been in encapsulation for 15 business days last Friday. It may go back to Grading and then back to Encapsulation, as I have heard from others. I spoke with someone named Phil at PCGS and was told Encapsulation was averaging 10 to 15 business days. I guess I'll find out this week.

One modern value order of ten received on January 28th. Still grading. Two crossovers received January 28th still grading. So suspect my order should ship by july.

I’m saying it took so long they looked a lot better when I sent them in from what I can remember when I sent them in. But I wish I took pic before I sent that submission so I know how they looked 100% when I 1st sent them in. I sent in coins in MS and I rec AU and bright white cleaned coins in VF I did not send that kind of stuff in and they where all my big dollar coins that came back like that I did not send those coins in. So from now on I’m taking pic of every coin and heads will roll if it’s not right.

So you are saying they were switched with the exact same date and type of denomination?
I’m saying something happened. But for this order there was no before pic but I know what I had in my dansco, I can tell Unc from VF and cleaned. From 1916 to 1921 all mint marks half. Anyway no one can change it now, I’m just venting .

Dropped some coins of at FUN, regular.
That was early January.
Occasionally dream of that email saying grades are available.
No point in calling, it is what it is.
And they are busy enough, no point in making them busier with a BS call.
I actually had a dream one night that the PCGS email of "your grades are available" came through.
I checked in the morning and no luck.
4 coins received on 12/30/21, been stuck on "Encapsulation" for nearly a month.
All the modern coins I been sending in get done in 30 days for me the other stuff has been taken a bit.
Hoard the keys.
I've had a few coins (modern US mint proofs) that came back with "surprises", but it could have been that once they (PCGS) cracked the airtites they were in and got 1st exposure to O2, they could have had some reaction I would not have noticed when I submitted.
The wait times really suck. I have a feeling that my submission will take longer than the 50 business days
Just to put things in perspective, I have an order with PSA (the card division of Collector's) that I sent back in March and it's still sitting in grading... that's March 2021
They probably sneezed on your Pokémon card and messed it up. They don’t know what to do lol
Just got mine back from Jan 11, that's the last one for me, other than a customers economy that I could care less when it comes back, it usually takes him weeks to come by and get it when it comes in anyway.
I have an Express order in since March 11….still in grading. Called last week to find out real status and was told it was in attributes. I had two other Express orders submitted at same time and those coins have been already returned to me, go figure!
I have a Regular order of five coins submitted at FUN Show (1/13/22) that's been in Encapsulation for almost two weeks.
That is very disturbing if true. Please explain what you mean by that.
Your hobby is supposed to be your therapy, not the reason you need it.
My question is whether the two top grading services will ever return to pre-pandemic turn-arounds and what would be required for that to happen? Plus NGC added an additional yearly fee for dealers to get discounted grading.
Lesson being don’t poke the bear.
It's been 91 days now on Regular service.
I’ve now used Express service twice in past couple months….submission graded less than 15 days both times.
This sort of turnaround time has to be hurting dealers.
Collector, occasional seller
I think long waiting time indicate the market is very hot. People send in all the coins to grade and sell. Grading company did a great job to push the market price because more and more people realize in order to sell for good price the coin need to be graded. New buyers want to buy coins in holder.
Nearly three months.

Both major services have long waits, the second tier imo, a month or so. I would only do a submission with the top tier for really valuable coins over $500-$1000 where the upside of the grade is vital.
This sucks
Express is moving actually quite fast, received the 25th March, shipped yesterday
My grades posted today for the 1/18/22 regular sub. Wished it was better after all this time but it is what it is.
Quarterly special submission received 1/26, been in QC for a week today.
Also an economy received same day, still in grading.
I buy all my coins certified and have never submitted a coin but after reading this post it will be a long time before I do ....

Funny I had express cross over grading received 3/23, still stuck in grading. How does that make sense, for $65?
I think they speed up now. Last time I submitted a walkthrough it took more than two tweaks to get a grade. Now I got a grade today for 4/7 received.
