now this is stupid: Economy grades in 11 days (and a CC Morgan in Poor-01!!!!!)

DennisH

Just back from a business trip and checked my e-mail. Surprises all around. The 11 calendar day elapsed time makes no sense whatsoever. A group of eight Regular ($30 each) crossovers I submitted the same day aren't done yet. The 1893-CC just isn't an 01 in my book. As for the Peace dollar... hello Pat!

This is one of the few times when we're glad a seller overgrades his stuff.

Peace dollars with MintMarks are next to impossible in PCGS PO01. They're either not worn enough to warrant the grade or the wear obscures the MM and thus a "No Grade".

Nice!

That's their highly efficient FIFO system at work.
