PCGS Order pickup at show

rkp

Hi,

I know you can submit coins for grading to PCGS at a show, but are you able to mail coins for grading say two months before hand, and ask PCGS to bring them to a show that you will be attending. My angle here is primarily to save on shipping and handling costs yet have the coins available at the show for trading.

Thanks!

That would be great, but they already have the return shipping money up front from you. Plus it probably would be to much added to the already busy process.

Just my thoughts.

I know NGC does this.

You are essentially asking if PCGS would store your coins for you. I doubt it.
Depending upon the coins' value, it can be cheaper to pay the show standard rate of $110/coin or show economy ($55/coin) +$8 service charge and pick up the coins at the end of the show than to pay the express fee of $55/coin and the return shipping fees.

I had a submission come through on the Thursday before Long Beach. After talking to PCGS at the show, they said yes it was possible to pick up at the show, but I needed to contact the office directly to request it. I called customer service, they said send an email, so I did on Friday, asking if they could deliver my coins to me at the show. They never replied. It was probably way too short notice. I don't blame them.

I have had this done in the past and have picked up at a couple different shows.

I thought I heard once that if you had a table at the show them they would do this. Not a normal procedure for collectors I would think.

Except for Long Beach, PCGS generally will not deliver coins at shows.

NGC will but they will still charge you part of a shipping charge and a handling charge.
