Tru view time is great !

its the rest of the process that bites

seems the coins get cracked and then sent to Phil,he takes the pix and then they get stuck back in the system !

how long after you receive the pics by email do your coins arrive?

Have mgoodm3 do it. His pics are much better.

I have had some SNAFU's on TruView orders where the orders got delayed. I think PCGS is still getting used to the whole thing. So don't be surprised if the order is a little bit late, etc. Other than that, I have been very satisfied with the service in general.

Here's an 1892 Barber quarter, Type I Reverse, PCGS MS68:

On a sub that is now on the way back to me right now.

It took Phil 4 days to take the photos once PCGS received the order.

It took an additiona 5 weeks to put them back in a holder and ship them to me. I expect to recieve them in another week or so.

Something is wrong at PCGS when it takes 5 weeks to put coins in a holder when no grading is involved.


Phil does great work - the rest of the process is broken.

yea I am lousy at take photos so I thought that the service might be an alternative for my website. i need faster turnaround times though.

Doesn't Doug at ANR provide such as service?

PCGS says to plan an extra 5-7 days to a submission for TruView. The coin gets graded first, then to TruView, then to holdering and finalizers.

what about just truview submissions?

I am not sure this is true - I had a coin that was returned to me in a body bag - and it was photographed. That would suggest that Phil might take the photo first and then it goes to the grading room.

I have been very happy with phils work. In general it has usually been a little over a week from the time PCGS gets the submission to when I get the pics through e-mail. I have a feeling the grading happens pretty quick also.

The issue is PCGS does not have enough people and equipment to get everything slabbed, verified, packed and shipped in a timely manner.
