    Didn't it take less time for Noah to build the Ark, for Bush to invade and topple Sadam, for the Devils to win the Stanley Cup or even for NGC to grade an economy submission. image

    Keep waiting, I'm in there with ya!

    That's a long wait. I often wonder to myself where they store the coins. I have this vision of all the cubicles overflowing with bubble wrap envelopes.

    I feel your pain David. I have one that arrived the day after yours. Mine were crossovers also, yet the economy graded coins which arrived at the same time were completed last week and shipped. Maybe there is a backlog on the crackout machine? Dave

    Ouch! 3 months. My last batch was almost 2 months and I thought that was bad.

    Yah, I had a raw submission also that was in the same box. It was graded a couple of weeks ago.

    I check the status online every day. I finally got fed-up and called customer service yesterday. I hate doing anything over the phone, so you know I'm tired of waiting. The lady was very polite... but when she said it was about half way through the submission process, my blood pressure went up twenty or thirty poings. The last time I checked, 83 x 2 = 2.5 times as long as I wanted to wait. I was then given the impression they would go through quicker. My blood pressure went back down five or ten points.

    It was estimated 60 days when they received them. It was later moved to 65, then to 75. It still sits at 75, and I'm a week beyond that... and three weeks beyond what I was initially led to believe.

    I realize how many coins PCGS graded last month. They are definatly improving the volume per month. It isnt realistic for me to expect too much more. Even though the brain sees them working hard to get a job done, the collector wants the coins back.

    NGC is looking pretty darn good right now.

    I feel your pain. I think my last ANACS economy submission passed the 90 day mark. Might have even been longer.

    Maybe "Coin Vault" sent all their stuff to PCGS instead of NGC.

    That could account for the backlog.

    I think they should issue a Centennial commemorative coin for all those that have to wait 100 days.

    I hope they dont kill my coins to cover up something they dont want us to know about. Dead coins dont talk.
