    I just checked to see if they were working weekends with their backlog...nope, no movement. What was I thinking?

    How do you tell if it's "right before your grades are about to post"? My coins sit in grading, and I just leave them there since I don't know how long it will take.

    The same way I can tell if it’s about to rain, just a feeling.

    Seriously though, if you track it 28 times a day for weeks at a time you tend to get an idea of when they’re about to pop 😁

    Exactly, I wouldn’t work weekends in fact I’m way ahead of this new 4 day work week thing.
    I’ve been taking off Fridays to play golf for years :D

    I would have had the grades by now but my credit card failed, overly cautious bank o' mine...

    I keep looking at my slush fund to see it diminish upon payment of my order. Grades would be nice to be known...to me.

    Boy oh boy did I take a beating on most of those. Still in the black thanks to a small few but man that was brutal.

    It’s going to be a lot to unpack and understand once I get the images.
    64 where I was expecting 67+, 66 where I was expecting 68, and a top pop to boot. Somethings amiss I’m gonna need to go fix a strong beverage now.

    As I tell my kid: You can either be excited, or you can be nervous.

    If I held my breath in anticipation, I'd be a dried up twin of Tutankhamen by now...

    sorry, wrong thread, ignore this.

    ...but I do check my orders at least daily, even when I already know the results (World coins that are Damaged-Chopmarks).

    I was excited and then slightly deflated but overall I got what I expected with the exception of two.
    And those two just happened to be the two that I had the most stock in.

    I get excited bc submitter of currency many can be low or top pop notes especially WPM. I had some nice CSA & Obsoletes last batch - they do well on bourse too.
