Last few days the Shared Orders Page updates have been completed by noon PST. The Economy orders are up to 29 working days.



Are all the Graders on vacation? I've never seen them so slow.

29 days? I recall times since the TPG's have been around when economy submissions got as high as 4-5 months. as I recall. Even the normal 2-4 week express went up to 6-8 weeks.

The past few weeks, post-Memorial Day, there have been lots of folks who took off for vacation at my part time job. I don't see why it would be different throughout the country.

I don't know about 4-5 months but 45 days was the norm back around 2003-5. the thing to remember is the PCGS show schedule gets in the way when they need to have maybe three graders attend.

Just got econ results on (business) day 31. And, the graders were NOT kind at all.

Regular sub grades in on (business) day 16.

I see they recently updated their estimated econ turnaround time from 25 to 29, which will do a lot to keep my expectations in check!

Thought this was a thread about sub-contractors/contractors.

I just received a Regular tier submission today that they received 5/20. What type of coins did you send in? They have been really fast unless there is something like early copper or colonials in low grade.

Although I was never certain of the exact numbers, I remember those days, too. All along, I have been puzzled by the process. Each grader examines 800 to 1200 coins per day, I have been told. Do any forum members have a different understanding of the workloads of graders?

I'm irked at this point. I specifically shipped prior to the Brinks truck leaving Chicago after the Central States Show to ensure that my order would arrive before that major workload. Here we are 40 + calendar days later and still waiting.



The reason I'm irked is because all week 7 to 10 orders hit the shared orders page before noon PST and that's it for the whole day until the overseas offices post their reports. This is not a lot of coins being graded.

Most do not share their orders so you are only seeing the tip of the iceberg. We got used to having economy graded in 7-10 days, which was nice. 30 days not so much. My regular service has been running about 7 days without anything extra added on.

I had to return one for a mechanical error.

It was run back through as regular service.

Just got holdered today.

26 business days, 37 calander days.



I'm not bragging or complaining, just reporting.
