so what is pcgs waiting on?

BigDaddyz

They released a few of the bulk first day GW $1 orders, updated the pop report, then just stopped. No more action that I know of.

Judging by your totals...looks like MS67 is gonna be next to impossible & if you are lucky 3% may grade 66...

The pop report has far more than 3% grading MS66.

my 100 coins yielded 7 ms66`s and NO ms67`s. 67`s and up will be VERY tough.

I think this is because there is a
possibility that they ran out of
the special "pronged" insert for
the Presidential Dollars.

Not sure, just speculation on my
part based on hearing the same
thing (about no coins coming out)
from some other dealers)

Russ

I think the real reason is that they set aside the orders for these crappy dollars to get to my orders with cool coins quicker.

anybody know how often they update the prices in the World Series? Mine haven't moved in days and looking at the graphs by the leaders..looks like theirs hasn't either.

True Russ, but I specified a minimum of 66 on my submission and 88 of them do not show up in the Pop Reports.




Of course, I'm probably the only idiot that did that!

I called the bulk on Tuesday. I talked to Stphanie, who said my GW order is in grading, but that it won't ship until next week, the problem is the amount of time it takes to align the new gasket to the lettering on the coin's edge.

I guess this process with the new gasket is alot slower than with the old gasket.

BigDaddyz

Got my grades.

Submitted 200

62 BU
115 65's
23 66's

Happy happy joy joy

Wouldn't it seem to be a good idea to have updates on this stuff? It seems that a lot of questions are asked and answered on these boards and the information may or may not be reliable.

The pricing for example, on bulk submissions for the GW FDI was quoted way back on the boards and posted, and reposted and relied upon by many, only to find out later that information was wrong.

BigDaddyz

Well, it wasn't really wrong.
If you received numeric grades under ms65, it cost more per item than if you just took a BU grade on those items.
Mine are all BU under 65 and they are $6 each

Pricing for Bulk Submission from Bulk Submission Department:
$6 a coin if 65 below, can also have them graded "brillant uncirculated" if they fall below a certain grade you specify
$10 a coin if 66
$12 a coin if 67
$15 a coin if 68
$20 a coin if 69
$30 a coin if 70


<< Questions for the man:

1.) I would like to know if that pricing posted earlier in this thread, is indeed, correct - or not. I have not seen this verified by CoinKing. It seems several of us have called the bult dept. as instructed in this thread, only to get a recording. >>


I'm not The Man™, but I did speak with a bulk person (Stephanie, I think?) at PCGS this morning after leaving my phone number after the tone. The prices that appear earlier are the ones I was told as well:

$6 a coin if 65 below, can also have them graded "brillant uncirculated" if they fall below a certain grade you specify
$10 a coin if 66
$12 a coin if 67
$15 a coin if 68
$20 a coin if 69
$30 a coin if 70

You can specify any minumum grade you want except 70. If less than 60% are holdered, you'll be charged $2/coin for the rejects, which will be returned in tubes.

This is basically what we had to work with here. I don't think it is asking too much to have it explained that if you do not specify a minimum grade, then those at MS 65 and below will incur an $8.00 each grading fee.
