What's the turnaround time for the PCGS free submissions..

DoubleEagle59

When you join PCGS and receive the 8 free coin grading submissions, what is the stipulated turnaround time?

It's usually pretty quick. That said, mine usually are about 10days minus the shipping time back to me............Rick

Mine took about 3 weeks in Jan 08.

mine show a date of 2/15 and still waiting.

DoubleEagle59

on the website it states 'turnaround time is 15 days for the $30.00 service'

Since, I would assume, the free service is the same as the '$30.00 service', would the 15 day time period also apply to the free service, or would it take longer?

That used to be a set in stone or you get free grading turn around time. It isn't any longer. It's just a general idea of how long it will take. Plus you have to subtract weekends, holidays and show days.

You should never assume. I believe they do them as quickly as possible, yet time frame varies depending on many factors. I have "normally" found them to be fairly quick on club submissions.

Here's my result from January 2008



Actual crossover grades.....I was actually satisified with these after hearing some of the others' crossover results.




edited to add: I took the "Cleaning-BB'd" 1856 Seated Half to the Baltimore show and showed it to Julian.

He said that id did NOT appear to have been cleaned.

But did mention, hey the coin is over 150 years old, some where along the line someone probably gave it a quick wipe.

Thanks again Julian for all you do for us regular collectors!!!!

I gave them my coins at the Long Beach show and they told me it would probably be around 21 days min. because of the shows going on
I checked tonight and it says status OK

I'm assuming that's from the date logged into the system.

PonyExpress8

Listed on the site on 2-12 for mine although dropped off in Phoenix 2-7 at the show. Nothing yet but 21 days would be next Monday. Seems like it is stretching out a bit.

From my past experience I have to first ask you. How old are you? Do you have any heirs? If neither you or they survive, is there someone else that can sign for it?
