Submitting Coins During The Holiday Season

I'm sitting here thinking, I probably shouldn't have submit coins a few weeks ago? I should have waited till after the holidays.

Although on the other hand, maybe this was the perfect time time to submit coins! Maybe submissions to the TPG'ers slows down during the holiday season. On the other hand, maybe the staff at the TPG'ers is greatly reduced.......everyone is on vacation!

Now I'm confused, I don't know what to believe! 🤣 😂

    Perhaps you are overthinking it.

    Could be that time of year has no effect or that one factor cancels another out.

    Collector and dealer in obsolete currency. Always buying all obsolete bank notes and scrip.

    Before the FUN Show is always better.

    @sellitstore - Perhaps you're right. Actually, I know you are right. I only check my submission status 15 times a day! 🤣 😂 I always overthink my coins! 🤣 😉

    The $10 if it doesn't cross deal at CACG ends in a week. I had to submit during the Holiday's. Hopefully the Grinch doesn't grade the coins though.

    Maybe the graders will be in a good mood due to the holidays; on the other hand, maybe they will be in a bad mood they are working!

    If you wait 3 weeks, it will be 3 weeks longer until you get them back. I am going to send a collectors club quarterly special off before the new year.

    Overthinking… the timing should be okay

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

  • Go back and look at my GC post of two weeks ago and see how many commenters told me I shouldn't have submitted so close to Christmas.

    Why? They'll sit there until after the holidays anyway.
    I have 2 submissions (first time in over 5 years that I've submitted) and I tracked the package. It got to PCGS over a week ago and has been sitting. The orders haven't even been entered into the system yet.

    Given the time of year, 2 holidays, and FUN, I don't expect much for a few more weeks. They are CC regular submissions.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Express on FH Gold coin received by PCGS on 12/11. Shipped back today. Pretty good even for express.

    And that's why I created this threat. To solicit your knowledge, opinions and suggestions...........it worked. 😉
