I think this questioned was posed before. The answer was that you get "regular" processing (and the associated faster turnaround time) as opposed to being put into the modern treadmill. It's all moot for me, though, as my sole delivery to date is two proof $1. Everything else is in backorder purgatory...

My results were exactly what I expected. I thought the silver proof had a chance at a 70 though as I picked the best out of four to send in and put the other three in my kids' Easter baskets.
Regarding the $39 "Special": I thought that outside of the special PCGS might charge $20 for a non-standard holder.

No complaints here. I needed one 70 in the MS $1 to have a 70 each. But 4 out of 8 is a nice return! Pretty sad when you get disappointed getting 69's.
