    Send them now! The longer you wait to send....only prolongs their return......

    You have to check the weather at the PCGS temple of grading, whether

    or not the graders have had an attitude adjustment recently.How many of them

    are suffering the pangs of irregularity and finally, if the majority of graders had

    a good nurishing breakfast. Compute all these factors into the consideration , when

    is a good time for an easy grade. Bwahahahahahahahahahaha.

    Actually there is no way to determine the best time for grading. Just send them

    in and hope for the best.

    Whenever you have all the time in the world to wait.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Just ship them off and forget about them. One day a long long time from now they will magically apear in your mailbox and you'll be so surprised you got coins because you forgot you even had them lol

    Same topic, different question:

    I have to send a couple of coins in ( due to a "mechanical error" ) ... does PCGS treat these coins like second class citizens and not look at them for months ? Or are they put in "queue" like everything else ?

    I have sent in "freebies" before, and got them back in a month or so. That was three years ago though.
    Now I have eight more freebies to send in, and from what I hear it could take as long as 90 days ( or more !)

    Is this a sign of a robust coin market, or lack of qualified personnel in the PCGS grading room ?

    Maybe the grading contest PCGS has held recently is their way of locating talented graders who'd like to work for them in sunny California. From what I've heard, these graders are paid very well.

    Good luck to all in their submissions !
