Is PCGS grading coins today?

I guess it's some kind of holiday. At least that's what one of my customers told me. Anybody know if they're in slaving at the grading tables today? Working on invoice #3032538 maybe? image

    Submissions are like savings bonds.... build a ladder so you always have one about to mature.

    Yes, in Las Vegas!

    According to PCGS show schedule Feb 16-18 is an Invitational in Las Vegas. They have on-site grading - so they are probably NOT grading your coins today. image

    Add another 3 days to all the orders! Maybe my 11/15 econ order will be done by time the snow melts!!!!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!


  • It is hard to understand why they have submissions that they
    rec'd in November that are not done and they fly around
    to coin shows to grade coins.

    Customer satisfaction.....NOT !!!!

    3 months is just too long to wait. They should tend to current
    business before taking on new.

    This reminds me of being waited on in the auto parts store and
    the phone rings......and they answer the phone.....spend 5 mins.
    looking up parts and giving out prices to someone that may not
    ever show up to buy them while I wait with money in my pocket
    ready to buy.

    The big cities and the big companies are the worst. Any good
    businessman should realize it costs less to keep a current customer
    than it does to find a new one.

    PCGS no longer gets a 100% of my business. I am going elsewhere.

    There's a special PCGS VIP "Invitational" going on in Las Vegas from Feb. 16-18 (see the home page under "Show Schedule"), so there is at best a limited grading staff at the home office. image
    When in doubt, don't.

    They're grading, but they have giant pictures of Lincoln and Washington handing over them.

  • They have an AU grade specialist working today on submissions from the state of Illinois.

    That figures. Marty always get preferential treatment.

    Look at the bright side. It's a leap year, so they have an extra day to play catchup. image

    day so we are on hold until Friday? image

    I just called PCGS. My order is in the grading room as of Jan 26th. He said that I'm sitting of business day #45. I call it calendar day #71. He also said that it will be another couple of weeks. If I don't get my coins back for 3 months, I'll be sending my coins sompleace else.

    Now if all you guys and gals will send your coins someplace else like you all are saying you are going to do, the turnaround time will come down and I will get my coins back sooner! image
