PCGS turnaround times are crazy good right now!

Mailed off a batch of coins on the 28th and just received notification they have been mailed back today! Ten day turnaround. Regular submission. Good news... NO 'genuine' only graded coins (unusual for the stuff I submit) and two lowball Ikes in this grouping!

    I wonder if the number of submissions has been effected by their recent extremely tight grading. A friend has averaged about 5% no grades for several years, the past 3-4 month that rate has increased to 30%.

    I meant to state I mailed the coins on the 18th and received grades on the 28th!

    Let’s see mine has been receipted through the us post office on Monday but here it is 5 days later and it’s still not showing as a submition. Hope PCGS did not loose it after picking it up from the Post Office on Monday. Other than that I agree lighting fast turnaround times.

    To be far the rep at PCGS said they are Extreemy busy probably due to the 15000 palladium coins from the Dealers.

    It probably helps my coins arrive the next day, generally, if I mail them first thing in the morning- as I live just south.

    The turnaround time might be good, but my submission was delivered Monday 9/24, and they were entered in the system today 9/29, 5 days later. I know PCGS starts the turnaround clock when they're entered in the system but my turnaround clock starts they day they're confirmed as delivered.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    Okay they just found my package PCGS is back on my good list! Thank you PCGS

  • KccoinKccoin Posts: 1,086 ✭✭✭✭✭

    PCGS just sent my invoice by e-mail for my submission still in process. Does this mean the grades are almost ready?

  • TwoSides2aCoinTwoSides2aCoin Posts: 44,621 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Sent 4 ancients ATS in late August. Was told they'd be ready by November. The gal reminded me that's 45 working days.

    It has definitely impacted the number of US coins I have submitted over the last 12 months. World coins not as much...

    Wow. Did you include a $20 tip? I hear that helps.

    Got email stating coins from ATS are graded, imaged, and shipped today. Kudos to the TPGs.
    I should have known I was given erroneous information by phone , when I called.

    Less than a week turn over for me, with the Palladium $25 proof I sent in. I'm totally blown away!! (Got a 70DC FS too :)
