PCGS grading!!!!!! What a pain!!!!

BobbyD

Hello everyone. I had set out 13 coins to be graded. Only 6 came up on the invoice though does anyone know why? (#3051489) What happened to the other 7 coins. Thanks in advance everyone.

Maybe they messed up when entering them in thier system? I have heard of error coins taking longer. Were they all modern? mike

BobbyD

7 Moderns and 6 1956 or older. I put them on the same invoice. What do you think happened?
Thanks,
BobbyD

BobbyD:
There is the possibility that some of the coins are damaged in some way in which they will not be graded and will not show up on the invoice but they will be sent back to you with your other coins. Just a possible explanation.

Mr. D
We regret to inform you of the loss of your coins, apparently they were all MS70 or PR70s and will now be given to a CU dealer for sale and distribution. Sorry for the inconvienence, PCGS Grading Staff.

Sorry, don't mean to make light of this, but I always wonder whether something like that could happen.

I guess we will see. I don't think that they are damaged. This years proofs and UNC. OH unless PCGS dropped them or something.

Someone at PCGS might have needed change for the bus.

Bobby,

PCGS probably split the submission onto two invoices because of the modern/non-modern batching...

I would agree --- The moderns were split from it. Because all of the non-moderns are on that 1 invoice you listed on the 1st post.

BobbyD

Thanks Guys. That's kinda what I though, but it was better hearing it from you guys. BY the way, can you use Commemoratives on the bus. Last time, the Bus Driver didn't know what it was and forbid me from using it.

Have you ever heard of the word patience? Don't worry your coins are not lost. All this PCGS negivity on these boards is really getting old. This crap just adds to it.

If you are new to submitting or just have a question why can't you just ask the question and drop all the negitive BS.

Bill, I couldn't agree with you more. Doesn't it explicitly say all over the invoices "Only 1 service type per invoice.". And that is to help speed things up. They could have just shipped your coins right back and stated the invoices weren't properly filled out, and started grading coins for people who did fill out their invoices properly. BobbyD, I don't mean to seem harsh, but this is what I mean, if PCGS even shows a slight hint of a mistake, everyone acts like they stole people's coins, or lost them, or did other evil things to them!

Bill - I agree. PCGS gets a lot of negative vibes that they don't deserve. I do think that if they had a link with a problem resolution contact name for different problems that it would go a long way towards removing some of the negative clutter in the forum. (As long as they answered the emails - otherwise it would just add to the negative clutter in the forum!)

It is refreshing to hear that there are others who also feel that submitters should consider complying with the submission rules, particularly, before launching criticism(s) or complaints.

It seems everytime I try to mention it, it is either ignored, or some sarcastic remark is forthcoming.

I sometimes wonder if the folks at PCGS regret opening up submissions beyond the authorized dealer level. I know they like the additional fees, but, I can also imagine their frustration at how many invoices come in that require intervention.

BTW, Bobby D, how will you feel if PCGS send your coins back in two shipments and includes a invoice for additional fees. They very well may, particularly if the turn-around time for the service(s) you requested are not the same.

I don't recall the submitter indicating he did anything wrong by mixing modern and non-modern coins on one submission. Why are people so quick to blame the submitter for this problem?

He could have mixed the coins and used the economy service. I've done this.

I agree it's likely he didn't, but why is everyone so negative toward the submitter and accusing him of making a mistake? Aren't you all jumping to conclusions?

gmarguli

I have heard of error coins taking longer.

Yes. They take a LONG time.

Charlie

BobbyD,

Your coins were split into two submissions due to the dates of the coins. I have your other submission number for you. I will send it to you in a PM.

Charlie

Gilbert

Hey Greg,

I agree we drew some conclusions. It is the only way to answer the question, why six coins show up and the other seven didn't. You are correct again because he did not admit that combining moderns with non-moderns was wrong. PCGS submission procedures state to NOT mix them, so we addressed that. Why is wrong to point that out as a possible reason for the submission being split? It turns out Charlie Kahler split the submission, apparently along those lines.

gmarguli

Gilbert, I just found it funny that some people were getting hot that some were jumping to conclusions about what PCGS did to these coins. I was just pointing out that others were jumping to conclusions about what the submitter did.

I admit I assumed the same thing that the order was split. However, it is not imposssible to think that some coins on this invoice got lost at PCGS. It has happened before.
