Wow!!! PCGS in the month of June graded over...

mnmcoin

...140,000 coins. That has to be some record. The figure was from a cs rep I talked to on Friday, when I was checking on some grades. I remember about 4 years ago, when I starting using PCGS, they were grading around 40 or 50 thousand coins, and they were fairly pleased with those numbers. And if I remember correctly post 1950 bulk was responsible for about 40% of that number.

I would really like to know the breakdowns of the following comparables...

Bulk vs. non-bulk (including pre-1930, 1930-1964, 1965-1978 and the ultra modern 1980s-present breakdowns for bulk)

Economy vs. Regular vs. Express vs. Modern etc. (including including pre-1930, 1930-1964, 1965-1978 and the ultra modern 1980s-present breakdowns)

US coins vs. World

Breakdown of the number of coins graded for each series

Submissions on dealer numbers vs. collector club numbers

And even a comparable that is probably not tabulated...

Toned vs. White

Maybe Carol or BJ can shed some light...but before that I would love to hear some estimations from the members here.

What other comparables would be interesting?

I wonder how they could do this without increasing their staff by a factor of at least 2? Did all of the graders work double time? I think not!!!!!!! This is a mystery I tell you. I ecpect the report around 90,000 and smooth out July. Otherwise I would have to question how it was done.

It appears, since the posted turnaround times haven't increased in the last month, that things are running a little smoother at PCGS. I left a question about such in the Q&A.

Crossovers versus raw? and for crossovers DNC percentage.
PCGS upgrade submissions and percentage that upgrade.

Guess the high number of coins graded this month explains why my regular 15 day service is not complete, even after 15 days. Guess I have a refund coming. I just hope the grades are what I'm looking for.

How much more delayed will modern coins be???

What's the turn around time for moodern? I have some that arrived on 7/2, but don;t expect them back for 3-4 weeks.

According to a thread posted in the US Coin forum, moderns are now at 35 days.

35 days, 35 months, what's the diff? Still way too long for a company that sent out letters about how they were going to improve customer service!!
