50 Days for PCGS ECONOMY. How long can it get?

Ljr1964

PCGS says there Economy grading service is now 50 Business days. Is this historically long or does it get longer still? I just sent in my first batch and have no experience with them.

Maybe you will get them back by this Christmas!!!

Ljr1964

Thanks Marty, that's very constructive.

But when they come back around Thanksgiving, look at as a bonus!!!

Is there any partticular reason they don't add more staffing other than "we're PCGS, we don't have to provide faster service."

Are coin graders that rare a breed?

They've added staffing. And last year the economy orders didn't take this long. But now they do.

When PCGS first caught on way back when it would take 3 or 4 months to get coins back.

This is historically long, and their solution is to raise fees and require a minimum number of coins per order.

They better change their ad before they get sued for false advertizing!

It seems I got modern service not economy, according to the new chart of services in the submission area.

Modern (1965 to date) $12 approximately
15 days maximum value $300 minimum 5 coins

Speaking of which, I got my first NGC coins back yesterday. Picked them up at the post office about 40 minutes ago. Put them in at the Charlotte show on 3/20. Here they are:
