Anyone have any current benchmarks for turnaround time? My June 1st regular submission is still at grading 🤯
An economy submission submitted on the same day is already back in my hands.

Anyone else experiencing long turnaround times lately? Still waiting on a submission received 8/18.
Yikes. Just had an order received this week. Guess I might not even see it back this year.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
I had a small modern value order that was posted received on 7/13 finally arrive back this week. 2.5 months or twice as long as the estimated turnaround time posted. And that was after an email inquiry where they put an expedite notice on it.
I shipped an order on the Sept 15th. Showed received on the 21st, moved to grading on the 28th.

I'm waiting on a "regular" submission received August 27th.. Today is business day 24. Current turn around times state 25 business days. Time keeps on tickin....
I got two from 2nd week of july that are not finished. 2 from early aug.
Its as slow as I have ever seen it, if I had anything come in that needed to go , I would express it or wouldnt send it currently.
My express order was only about a day over schedule. My modern order was about 10 days over. Both are now shipped

I have an order in from ANA. I guess it's gonna be a while longer. Was hoping to have it by mid Oct. Oh well. Hopefully the grades will be what I'm hoping for.

Business is business so I don't besmirch PCGS, but I am really despising the modern issues coming out of the mint right about this time... really, there is no art in choosing between MS69 and MS70 (and guaranteed humans are no good at it). Its about time they build a fully automated assembly line with high res imaging and pattern recognition software and give the graders back to the "real" coins! While they are at, install the systems right off the chutes from the coin presses and the labels can have a timestamp of just how "first release" they actually are! "Look, I have a set of ten consecutive milliseconds just ten minutes after they started minting!"
Back to the subject at hand, I have four invoices received on 8/19 all with Gold Shield:
Regular (with one variety attribution) stuck in grading, not being imaged.
World Regular, Quality Check (just hit today) and images still processing.
Regular - Special Issues, in Grading not being imaged.
Economy, in Grading not being imaged.
Speaking of imaging, I can only imagine how aggravating it is to take photos of the same new mint issues 1000's and 1000's of times. I wonder if they wise up and just use a stock photo, or a rotation of them, or if they are truly shooting each individual coin from these releases...
Just received notice that my submission from 8/18 is on the way back.
I sent one today.
I submitted four coins for regular service, plus Trueviews and die marriage attribution for two coins (same date, one variety being rare, the other being the most similar die pairing to the rare one for comparison). The coins were submitted 7/9 at Summer Fun and marked "received" on 7/19. They remain "in grading" after 64 business days now (88 calendar days).
When should I be reasonably concerned enough to ask PCGS to check on my order's whereabouts?
Wow, I was going to post my issue but I see I don't really have one now. I hope things speed up for everyones concern.

Now. > @Barberian said:
Now.
It is what it is. I am sure they are peddling as fast as they can!
I’m sure they shoot each one, as TrueView is a service for which submitters are paying extra. Most of the modern coins don’t get TVs anyway, given the additional cost to the submitter and that it isn’t a feature that collectors of those types of widgets value.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
I thought if you select gold shield true view comes with it. My most recent submissions were gold shield and I did not pay for TV and got it

You, sir, are correct.

My modern value submission rvcd 8/4 was delivered today 10/15. It sat in grading for 2 months, went through encapsulation in a day, over the weekend to QA, then it shipped.
Was hoping for silver box, but I got a gold box and I'm ok with that.
I hate to speak too early, but am starting to see evidence its starting too improve some.
I want a gold box, the last few have been silver
Or, in my case - PCGS has elected to image my coin...not my choice.

Biz day 34 for me so far..., I know its an estimate, the 25 biz days for regular, but man o man...!
I'm at 45 business days on an economy submission.

I spoke to Maria yesterday 10/14...She stated that Economy has been extended to 40-45 business days as of mid-September
My 8/24 Economy Crossover is on day 36 and the status changed yesterday to "Holder check and label verification"

My economy submission I received back a couple weeks ago took 2.5 calendar months. I think that's ~50 business days. It may have only been in process for about 45.

I've seen movements on some of my orders:
Regular with one variety attribution received 8/19 shipped 10/15 or 39 business days. Counting 10 for the variety attribution it was 4 days past the ETT. It went very rapidly through Encapsulation/QA/Shipping (the three took one business day) likely because I called to ask about the status since it hadn't even started imaging apparently as of the end of last week.
My Regular World received 8/19 shipped on 10/12 or 36 business days.
Regular Special Issues received 8/19 just hit QC yesterday.
Economy received 8/19 is still in grading and does not show it is being imaged yet. it is at 39 business days as of yesterday so it seems I may have another 2-3 weeks yet to go on that one.
It's now 72 business days and counting in "grading" for a regular 4 coin order with attribution for two coins submitted 7/9 at Summer FUN. The order was flagged as "received" on 7/19. I called a week ago and they said they would try to expedite the order.
So with their web page claiming that they have graded over 250,000 coins in the last 30 days, that would seem to indicate a backlog of around between 500,00-750,000 coins?
And yet they felt the need to advertise a walk thru special recently. As others have said, grade the damn coins you have.
74 business days and counting. Still no change.
Some people who submitted at the same time I did have gotten their coins back over a month ago, so I wouldn't assume uniformity in grading time for each submission to calculate how much of a backlog they have. It sure looks like there's a large backlog, though.
How do they store coins while waiting to be graded?
I had two separate submissions for ASE proofs that were from the same us mint box and received at pcgs on the same day. One order was graded within about 3 weeks and half graded 70 and no milk spots developed after grading. The other order took about a month and a half to get through grading. More than half of the second order developed milk spots and the grades reflected the spots.
Seems like proof coins sitting longer are developing milk spots at a much higher rate
I have not submitted coins to pcgs for many years. This year I rejoined the Collectors Club to submit some u.s. coins (7 Morgan’s and a barber dime). They were marked received on September 22, 2021. No change so far. How long should I expect to wait before grades are posted?
What tier did you submit under?
They were the 8 submissions received with membership. I would assume this is the regular tier.
If they were under regular, there should have been some movement by now if they were received 9/22. I would reach out to them and see.
It should say….
We estimate you will be angry.
I was going to post my issue but I see I don't really have one now. I hope things speed up very soon.
As much as two more months or more.
Depends on tier level. I have actually been pleasantly surprised at how quickly my submittal has moved through the system. Sent in 5 coins, received 10/11, and as of yesterday are in quality check, the final stop before shipping. Not saying they won't languish there for awhile, but it has still gone quicker (so far) than many of the stories I am reading here. (These were submitted under the Regular tier.)
True. However, my four coins were submitted as Regular (Gold Shield) with TVs, and attribution for two coins.
60 days,,,,,,,
Well I finally got them, received today November 4th. Received by pcgs on august 27... I did get a gold slab box though!!
What level did you send them in for? I'm guessing regular?

My collectors club 8 regular submission received 9/27 is still in grading.
