Randy,

My 15 day order got checked in on the 8th. I figure 15 business days minus the blackout period for the show and the invitational will mean the 8th of next month. I mailed the same time you did. It's pretty normal though. Waiting is a big part of this hobby. Waiting for the coins you need, waiting for the auction to end, waiting for the mailman, waiting for grading, waiting for ......... everything.

..............having NGC grade your coins one-point heavy?? is that priceless??

these whines are old. no offense meant to you Randy, i figure the thread is a bit tongue-in-cheek and pointed at yourself.

How about sending your PCGS submission to NGC and your NGC submission to PCGS I almost did that once.
