Two regular submission orders were put into the system on 8/3/16. One submission of two CBH with varieties was posted on9/16/16 with the wrong attributions. Sent e-mails to customer service asking them to hold them because they were attributed incorrectly. Also called customer service and she stated that they were correct. She was again asked not to ship them and send them back through for the correct varieties. Received an e-mail on Sunday the 18th which stated the order was shipped. Called customer service on 9/19 and was told nothing can be done except to send them back after I receive them. E-mailed Mike Faraone immediately and received a fast response that the order had not been shipped and it would be pulled to check for the correct varieties. OK. Received an e-mail from customer service this morning stating that the submission should have been pulled but was shipped out accidently and they are sending a return receipt for Fed Ex along with two free variety vouchers. Called again this morning about the other regular submission being in process for 39 working days and was told that it is taking longer because one coin has a variety attribution and a tru-vu and this takes longer. The first submission which is on its way (inadvertently) also had varieties and tru-vu. So much for the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing. Sorry about the long post!

...Why does db keep making a fool of himself .. just move on to NGC
NGC is a private company. No one posts there. The boards are dead. Their coins garner less money on resale. Go ahead and submit there. PCGS will reap more fees in the long run when you decide to crossover.
Will grades post before TrueViews are done or are you stuck waiting until they are done to even know what your coins graded? (I have a regular submission with some TV's in it)
Can someone tell me whether the current turnarounds on the PCGS website are more accurate/realistic right now?
I have possible economy, regular, and expression submissions that I would like to make and would like the coins back in time for the Christmas holiday season to sell.
PCGS graded 14,175 coins yesterday. They've been averaging about 8K per day over the last few months, so that's a good sign. Keep it up PCGS!!!
It's actually the highest daily total all quarter. Why do they have to go 90% through the quarter to get serious?
Hey! That wasn't a cheerleader comment!?!
I'm not a cheerleader. If they do something right, I'll point that out. If they make a mistake, I'll point that out as well.
I try to be objective. You coin guys are all emotional and irrational. Sorry to point that out. The card guys are the most "normal" of the collectors. Maybe because it is sports orientated. Still your obsessive/addictive behaviors make you good customers. Maybe that's what attracts me to this type of investment. BTW - I invest in cigarette, alcohol, and coffee companies as well.

Cameonut2011.....................I would think that an Economy submission being completed and returned by Christmas would be "iffy" There are far too many in this thread who have indicated their submissions exceeded the timeframe posted. Accordingly, having faith that your outcome might be different is a reach.
PCGS will not get anything from me until things have completely returned to normal and verified.
If you do what you always did, you get what you always got.

I am not trying to vague by saying it can happen either way. Sometimes the grades are posted prior to the TV...sometimes the other way around.

this is their "slow" season. by the time things are back to being fast, it will be their "busy" season. It is also quarter end where they will be feverishly trying to get coins out the door.
Update on turnaround times for an express order with Trueviews--shipped registered to PCGS September 7, arrived September 10, logged and in process September 13, grades and Trueviews issued September 16, shipped back September 18, arrived here September 22.
Way below the 9 days currently on the chart.
GSAs, OBW rolls, Seated, Walkers. Anything old and Colorado-focused, CO nationals.
Reporting that yesterday (9/20/16), I received grades on a 6 coin Regular submission that was logged in on 8/23/16. By my unofficial count, that was Day 19.
The interesting thing might be when I receive grades on the OTHER submission logged in the same day. We know they don't necessarily take them in order, so the difference might be telling about what kind of variability exists.
Apparently, my second submission is done...day 21.
But, they are waiting for my go ahead on some Overton's I had written on labels on the old slabs, and neglected to remove. Their valid question was, "do you want the variety attribution?"
Guess there are probably those special kind of idiots who would expect that....(as opposed to normal idiots who just forget to remove the labels).
US Mint Error (1891 AU55 $1 Reverse Lamination): Received 9-3-16, grades on 9-1-16.
US Express: Received 8-22-16, grades on 9-2-16.
For the most part, they have been semi-solid on the estimated wait times. Given the amount of coins graded each and every day, I'd say we be glad they are what they are!
Walker Proof Digital Album Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
I had 2 more orders post. Grades were iffy. What I have been noticing is that coins have been graded with problems more than normal. Mainly cleaned even though the ones marked as such came right out of Rattlers. They are not cleaned. This would be a rookie mistake on certain coins, if they in fact did hire that many newbies.
I can get behind that. The last submission I got they said this was cleaned.
I do have to say that I have been noticing the same thing, and not just with my orders. I deal mainly in Franklin halves, and I've been getting seriously screwed with the grades. I know people making a killing off of cracking people's slabs that got terrible grades and resubbing them...one guy is even one of my best customers.
PCGS is trading quality for quantity at the moment and it's costing us bigtime.
My friend speculates PCGS knows they have a big problem .. but powerless to provide immediate fix , relief to coin submitters...... he still has over 20 submissions in the pipeline for grading
One good grading result for me after sending in a better date SL quarter to PCGS under express, I was thinking lock upgrade based on a long time full time dealer's assessment, no dice on that. Cracked it out, dipped in "conserv" and sent to NGC and got the gem FH grade; value doubled.
My friend speculates PCGS knows they have a big problem .. but powerless to provide immediate fix , relief to coin submitters...... he still has over 20 submissions in the pipeline for grading
I'm surprised that they haven't been more transparent on how the plan on fixing the problem. I think if they gave everyone the skinny and a time line it would beneficial. PCGS in generally proactive in the PR Dept. The obvious concern would be if they actually didn't have a plan to fix this real problem. I'm in no hurry so I'm not all that bent out of shape but I totally understand those that are and sympathize with them. There should at the very least be a reduction of fees IMHO applied to submissions that are running way behind.
I wish Don would address in this thread. The natives are indeed getting restless.

Restoration Service is pathetically slow!! 61 days and counting. PCGS.....how about throwing us a sliver of info on how you are going to fix the problems???
The ticker on the PCGS Web page says only 900 coins were graded yesterday. Really? Christmas party?
almost 8000. Check again. was 33,763,979 vs 33,771,644
I almost wonder if some of the multiple id folks work in the propaganda dept ATS. Why not? Google makes their search results towards their liberal agenda. Facebook "news" feed is anything but news. MSM is an arm of the liberal army. A cheap way to sway folks here is to complain about a non-existent problem (volume up at least 30% while Express and Regular service is basically the same, Modern is 50% FASTER and Economy is 30% slower), shill for ATS, and sway a few folks here. Hmmmm.
Why are you worried about the competition? If PCGS want's to exceed the competition, work harder. Investors wringing their hands over small stuff doesn't get the job done. It's just silly and shows.
If you do what you always did, you get what you always got.
I received grades and TV's for my regular 8/15 crossover submission yesterday. Still have two in house also submitted 8/15.

3500 coins yesterday (Saturday). Highest Saturday total since early July. There have been many Saturdays this quarter where they did less than 1000 or in fact ZERO
I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector. Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.
And there's no real sign of improvement, and even though there are many irritated customers, many saying they will not submit coins for grading or submitting to the competition, there is nothing but silence from PCGS management for the last few months.

Backlog at this time last year was 10 for Express, 21 for Regular, 30 for Economy, 39 for Modern
Backlog for last week was 9, 24, 40, 20
The only place they are falling grossly behind is Economy, the cheapest service.
The ticker on the PCGS Web page says only 900 coins were graded yesterday. Really? Christmas party?
almost 8000. Check again. was 33,763,979 vs 33,771,644
I almost wonder if some of the multiple id folks work in the propaganda dept ATS. Why not? Google makes their search results towards their liberal agenda. Facebook "news" feed is anything but news. MSM is an arm of the liberal army. A cheap way to sway folks here is to complain about a non-existent problem (volume up at least 30% while Express and Regular service is basically the same, Modern is 50% FASTER and Economy is 30% slower), shill for ATS, and sway a few folks here. Hmmmm.
Why are you worried about the competition? If PCGS want's to exceed the competition, work harder. Investors wringing their hands over small stuff doesn't get the job done. It's just silly and shows.

I checked too early this morning; I guess the numbers hadn't been updated yet. Less than the 14K earlier in the week, but still respectable.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
I received grades and TV's for my regular 8/15 crossover submission yesterday. Still have two in house also submitted 8/15.

My friend speculates PCGS knows they have a big problem .. but powerless to provide immediate fix , relief to coin submitters...... he still has over 20 submissions in the pipeline for grading
Wow! 20 would lead to my head exploding!

Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.
What a difference a year makes.

And there's no real sign of improvement, and even though there are many irritated customers, many saying they will not submit coins for grading or submitting to the competition, there is nothing but silence from PCGS management for the last few months.

The BOD meets this week to set dividend policy for the next fiscal year. Nothing would surprise me.
