No April fools joke here, in the spirit of The Year of the Customer, we are excited to offer four, unique quarterly specials to all Collectors Club Members.

Sure, send in a bunch of varieties two weeks ago, and now the price drops $6 each.
Cool

If it hasn’t hit the billing department call and ask... you never know.
This is great, and I have questions @HeatherBoyd
I see no restrictions on using more than special for an order. i.e. crossing over a coin and getting a variety attribution for the same coin. Also, is the free truview gold shield?
Yes you can! These specials can be combined on qualifying submissions.

Any specials darkside coins ?
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
My submission is taking number four, pleased to say I got the email last month.
I thought for sure this was an April Fool's prank!!!
Better than a prank, it's REAL!

@HeatherBoyd Thank you very much for putting this together for us.

Thank you for adding 4 Quarterly Specials !!!
So -- there are now 4^2 specials in a year which is two Spanish 8 reales, if they were still legal tender - but they aren't. Plus - these 4-squared specials can be combined in any quarter of the year so it's really 4! specials per quarter or 4! x 4 specials per year. [4! = 24 : x 4 = 96] or 12 Spanish 8 reales per year if one counts specials in reales -- and it is presumed they are absolutely "real" reales specials.
OK. Now it's clear.
Do you need to submit on separate invoices and pay separate processing fees for the different services?
For instance, if I have:
(2) reholder special
(2) variety attribution special
(5) express special
9 coins total (each one benefiting from a different quarterly special without overlapping of the specials)
Would I need to do three separate submissions (1 for reholder, 1 for variety attribution, and 1 for express discount) and pay the $10 processing fee for each one or could I do them all on the same invoice and pay the $10 processing fee once?
I hope my question isn't too convoluted.

I, for one, am grateful for these specials. Last quarter’s special worked out great!
This quarter’s special gives me a lot of options and I will need to take a step-back and analyze what I have and will need, but it’s great to have these Spring options.
Very nice... seems like the 'Year of the Customer' is really shaping up to offer some great deals. Thank you, Cheers, RickO
These are good deals, thank you!
what about "dark side" coins??? as asked already but is being ignored??????
we are people too....
If the coins would normally qualify to be submitted on the same submission then they still can be submitted together.

Best EVER i'd say!
No intent to ignore here, but I do need some clarification:
By Darkside if you are referring to World coins then 3/4 specials are valid for World coin submissions
If you are referring to StarWars coins, medals or tokens a quick call into our customer service team to verify before submitting is recommended.
If you are referring to Ancient coins, well, the answer to that question remains the same as it has always been

This and the crossover quarterly special from about 2 years ago are by far my favorites. None of the others have ever come close to that one or the current offering.
I am working on a dozen or more crossovers now so this is good news! I filled out a page of coins on the online submission form yesterday and was going to add some more today, but they disappeared last night and I have to start over.
Is there a way to save a draft of the online submission form before completing it? It would be a big plus as sometimes I can't get it all done at once, and want to add some later to get it into a bigger order or to double check the next day for my mistakes before submitting it.
Edited to say that I did send in an email request to PCGS to see if this "save draft" idea is something that could be easily implemented or not.

I’ve experienced the same and lost it all thinking it’s saved.
Now, if I find I made a mistake after printing I just make a pen change on the form, initial, and sometimes write additional comments on the form. Have not had an issue.
But, I agree, it would be nice to save a draft to come back to later.
This is wonderful!
Thank you PCGS.
Hello Heather
thanks for your comment.
What is a 3/4 special??
And to clarify the "dark side", I consider the dark side all international coinage from outside the USA.
In my interest, especially Canada. Nothing utopia like colored snakes, movie themes etc....NCLT out of the RCM and other mints. just old normally issued collectors coins from other countries.
I have a lot Canadian coins , rare Queen Victoria, in super high grades, raw and ICCS/ CCCS graded, but Ia m not really willing to pay all these fees for other TPG grading and especially not the fees based on the value.
IMO. grading is grading and not price evaluation. the market does that by itself, based usually on the grade received.
Further, it is not easy to submit across the border. To to this date I have not seen any movement toward by either US TPG toward making it easier.
Sorry if that sounds like a rant. It is rather a concern.
Quarterly specials number 3 (Variety Attribution) and 4 (Free TrueView for Reholder Service).
