Submitting Coins

NewParadigm

When submitting coins, is the pcgs estimated time accurate?

Submission # Date Received Date Shipped Status
xxxx91.............1/22/2010.......N/A..................OK *ECONOMY TIER*
xxxx08.............8/17/2009.......8/21/2009.......Shipped *REGULAR TIER*
xxxx41.............3/26/2009.......4/16/2009.......Shipped *REGULAR TIER*

My only three submissions. But these are the lag times on the grading *I've* experienced.

Seems to be hit or miss, the Economy submissions from Philly came back real quick, Coinfest was real fast, Fall Baltimore was slowish, I figured they were slammed with submissions. FUN was about what I expected on economy, much faster than expected on the Mint Errors.

I don't mail them in, I like to turn them in at shows, largely because I am weird, but also because I often buy raw coins at the big shows that I end up submitting.

Has pretty much been on time for me....But remember the days they quote are business days.

Current turn-around times in "business days" are accurate. Remember these times start AFTER the coins are received by PCGS and do NOT include return shipping time either (i.e. business days AT PCGS).

As of today:

REGULAR SERVICE: 17 business days.

Economy Service: 35 business days.

Modern Service: 20 business days.

World Service: 40 business days.
