Turnaround times are ticking in the right direction!

Just took a look at current estimated turnaround times posted on the Services page and it appears that they are trickling down a little bit. Good to hear as I had 3 submissions of various tiers (Regular, Economy, and Modern) logged into their system this week.

I figured we're all quick to talk about longer turnaround times, but it's starting to look like they're on top of things again in the US Coin segment at least.

Wow, those #'s are promising. I am as impatient as a kid waiting on Christmas when it comes to sending coins off for grading......

Hey Wes, maybe that means you won't have to wait as long as we thought. Our economy was logged in on april 11. I figured around June for those 6 so thats good news. I have a couple regular submissions in as well, its more fun when you spread them out.. and since economy only covers up to a 300 coin some have to go Regular.Good luck

Does that say over 3 months for World Economy?

I won't submit World coins to PCGS until the turnaround time improves significantly.

That's good news since I just submitted a couple of coins last week!

Definitely good news. I just got grades yesterday on 100 coins from 3/26. A week or so earlier than I expected. Of course, I would have been willing to wait a bit longer for even better grades...

Pay up and you'll get them back within 8 days. Didn't we just have this conversation?

At $65/coin, no thank you. My coins aren't that valuable. I wish I could afford to pay that much like you.

Not just the turnarounds getting better- mailed a coin from upstate rural New York at 11AM Eastern Tuesday - has already
received by PCGS and entered for grading at 2pm Pacific time - High hopes for a record turnaround

My 6 coins in Regular Submission with CC voucher, noted received by PCGS on 4/19. Grades posted yesterday. 12 working days.
Great work.

My last World Economy order was received at PCGS on 2/11/13 and I got it back on 4/25/13. I think it was a little less than the advertised 60-70 business days at the time. I screwed it up though and included a Mexican Dos Pesos gold on the order when you're not supposed to put gold through economy... got charged an extra $20 for that one and it turned out to be counterfeit anyways

I guess I need to start using the slower services!

My Express Secure Plus order, PCGS picked it up Last Tuesday morning, finally was entered into system that Thursday afternoon, and as of 2:45 PM Pacific time right now, not yet graded.

I sometimes wonder if Secure Plus takes longer? I love the service, and if/when I want to sell a coin, I always get more because of that holder.

Bump for continued improvement in the Turnaround times.

I know you think this is good, as a shareholder this is bad.
