Economy: 65 BUSINESS Days???? (ouch)

Colorfulcoins

We all know PCGS has updated their site to notify Economy submitters the estimated turn around is approximately 65 days but when I called today, I was told it was 65 BUSINESS days not 65 CALENDAR days...and 65 business days is 13 weeks - 3 Months!

How funny (in a cynical sense) that we as submitters, seem to be right back where we were last year with extremely lengthy turn around times. I submitted my coins when David Hall posted that times were decreased to 45 days (subsequently 40 days) but looks like its still going to be 65 business days (my submission is currently 60 at calendar days / 32 business days given Thanksgiving, Xmas, New Years, Baltimore and FUN days removed). And lets cross off 4 more days next week for Long Beach. Hmmmm.... 38 more business days means about March 23rd which is only 4 months calendar days. Gee whiz........

As I noted in this thread, the word "calendar" was mysteriously dropped from the page.

Mine hit when it said 40 days, I'm now on day 71.

Good luck keep up with that crap.

Must be a huge increase in submissions of newer coins trying for that elusive 70 grade!! I personally think that the astronomical prices beeing asked for them are way out of line!

I'm sitting at over 70 days right now so I emailed them and told them if it's done before Long Beach just to bring them there and save the postage. I got a responce back saying you're only and 40 some BUSINESS DAYS and they won't be done for a while.

Unbelievable. 65 business days?????

Who are they kidding? No one's going to tolerate this; I'm sure economy submissions are close to zippo. And just like last time, when the backlog starts dropping to 40 days or so, they'll get swapped again overnight repeating the cycle.

Well they need to penalize the moderns or something, with the 100 coin submissions hoping for a 70 out of the mix.

David replied to my post in the Q&A. He says that there is a lack of graders........

Stat submitting your resume to PCGS.......

Where is it that you guys see 50 days for moderns????????

beartracks42

did PCGS lay off graders when the economy turnaround dropped to 40 days, or what? I can't believe that increased submissions is the cause of this terrible customer service. Perhaps the $200 quickey at the FUN caused this setback?

Read it and weep, Ken (and all others, including myself): 50 business days for modern submissions.

I sent a 5-Day submission to anacs which was received by them on 1/13, coins came in the mail today 1/23......not bad for $15 per coin.

However, wish the grades were as good as the service, cannot fathom how they came up with these scores. I'll most likely crack-out the entire submission except for either 1 or 2 coins and send the rest to pcgs and commence to waitings. Maybe I'll make it interesting, see if i can drop the 20lbs. i've been meaning to lose while I wait for the results.
