Economy times just bumped to 70 days!

DennisH · January 31, 2005 7:35AM

There's been a change on the status check website.

Prethen · January 31, 2005 7:37AM

Ohmigosh....that's like 3.5-4 months!!! Ouch!

Coinhusker1 · January 31, 2005 7:43AM

Well they raised the price from $16 to $18. That's so they can spend more time to get the grade right, hence the extra days.

mgoodm3 · January 31, 2005 7:45AM

Could you predict the downfall of the coin market by PCGS wait time? As long as it's high the good market continues?

clackamas · January 31, 2005 8:05AM

I am still over 70 days. They lie

66Tbird · January 31, 2005 8:19AM

1/5 of a year. A lot can happen in that frame.

BAJJERFAN · January 31, 2005 8:37AM

Well then it will be at least 70 more business days till the crash. I will probly have a graduation party for my coin when I get it back

segoja · January 31, 2005 8:39AM

I'm over 70 so I'm not sure what they are talking about.

I wish it were only 70 days.

Bochiman · January 31, 2005 8:56AM

<< I am still over 70 days. They lie

Well, add another 70 days to yours then

RGL · January 31, 2005 9:03AM

A four month wait for undergraded coins at higher cost ... and, what is your complaint?

pharmer · January 31, 2005 9:15AM

I propose a new measurement of time, a PCGS year. Right now it's 70 days, one guess is that's 1/5 of a year (on what planet?), another 4 months. A PCGS year will probably become 75 days in the near future. It's imprecise enough to have general bs-ing utility:

"It's ain't rained 'round these parts in a PCGS year..."

"I had this fungus on ma foots fer a PCGS year..."

"I ain't seen my coins in a PCGS year..."

clackamas · January 31, 2005 9:33AM

The PCGS mile is the distance between recieving and the grading room. "It is just going into grading" means that Juan Valdez has started his long journey from the Andeas on his sick donkey with your coffee. It will be a few weeks more before it actually arrives.

DennisH · January 31, 2005 3:28PM

"In the Sealing Department" means the donkey died and Juan is now on foot.

TommyType · January 31, 2005 3:32PM

What do they call it when Juan dies?

clackamas · January 31, 2005 3:42PM

This thread is funny!

Strat · January 31, 2005 4:44PM

Pharmer, that is hilarious! Dennis, if you wouldn't submit so many freakin' coins, we might get our orders back sooner...

raycyca · January 31, 2005 6:52PM

Juan dies when PCGS actually gives out grades the coins deserve(by old PCGS standards and collectors standards)! I just received my grades-coins will have to wait the PCGS year. My Ike's were graded by my local dealers at 64/65 and 65/66-he collects them in PCGS slabs. PCGS thought they graded right at 62 and 63-that's for the 1972-P type 2's!!! OUCH! Thanks God they were cheap for me to buy. NGC here I come on my next batch. The wait time wasn't TOO bad-they were received by PCGS on 3 Dec 04 in an economy submission. Ray

morgannut2 · January 31, 2005 7:19PM

I've submitted 10 Morgans, lost the form, and actually have forgotten what they were. No problem you say PCGS? I won't be buying PCGS Morgans again until I figure out what I already have--When I'm a year older!!!

ms70 · January 31, 2005 10:21PM

They're too busy grading "First Strike" SAE's.

CoinOnTheCob · February 1, 2005 12:14AM

ANACS is over three months also. (For economy service.) The grass isn't greener. You just keep a little extra green in your pocket.

<< ANACS is over three months also. (For economy service.) The grass isn't greener. You just keep a little extra green in your pocket. >>

Yes @ $10 but you can pay $15 (less then PCGS economy) for 5 or more coins and get the 5 day service.

So, Juan is immortal.

flaminio · February 1, 2005 5:30AM

There's just no way I would ever submit coin to PCGS with their current price structure and timetable. I'll buy coins already slabbed, but waiting 70 business days for a submission to come back is ludicrous.

Russ · February 1, 2005 5:33AM

<< but waiting 70 business days for a submission to come back is ludicrous. >>

It's not business days, it's calendar days. Still sucks, though.

The first three words, yes.

NGC now at 32 business days....I hate business days

seanq · February 1, 2005 6:03AM

<< NGC now at 32 business days....I hate business days

But what is that in calendar days, around 45? Still beats PCGS by nearly a month.

Sean Reynolds

Russ · February 1, 2005 6:08AM

The strange thing about NGC's turnaround time estimates is that they've beat them on every submission I've sent to them.

Russ, NCNE

Manorcourtman · February 1, 2005 10:16AM

Bad news. I guess my additional $2 per coin for econ. service gets me an extra 5 days. I guess my Ktel Album order which used to take 4-6 weeks looks like rush service at this point.

flaminio · February 1, 2005 10:42AM

<< It's not business days, it's calendar days. Still sucks, though. >>

That's not what it says here. "Turnaround (Business Days)".

Economy times just bumped to 70 days!
