Baltimore Show Grading

Wolf359

Ok, I have a couple of coins that I want to have graded at the this week's Show (Dec 4th - Dec 7th). What time does PCGS grading open?
Do I have to register first, etc?

they open when the dealer setup times are open.

walk up and fill out a form and pay up and they will grade them for you.

The show opens to dealers with tables (and people with early bird badges) at 9:00 AM on Thursday, Dec. 4th.

The fee for PCGS coin show grading is $65 per coin, on items insured for $1500 or less and $100 each, for coins insured for more than $1500. The grading can take as long as 2 or 3 days if they are super busy. If things are slower, the grading might take hours, instead.

Thanks Mark, so I can submit at 9:00am Thursday? How do I get an early bird badge?

Wow pcgs needs to update their website. Only show price listed is $100.

Wolf, below is a link to the site for the show information. I have also included two names and numbers for the show promoters. They will be able to answer your questions about early bird badges.

It typically takes PCGS a while to get set up at the show, so I wouldn't count on their being ready to receive coins right at 9:00 AM, but, it shouldn't take too long after that. Good luck.

Edited to add - (at least) sometimes there is a 5 coin minimum for the $65 tier and the $100 submissions receive priority, time-wise, over the $65 ones.
