PCGS - Slow Going

Herb_THerb_T Posts: 1,755 ✭✭✭✭✭

They received in my coins to have the attribution applied to the label and a new holder with photos. In the past they have turned this around in 2-3 weeks. Did they lose a bunch of photo guys when the head guy went over to GC? Something is dragging down their service.

    Express is 15 business days? 3 weeks? My lord.

    As I understand it, Phil had a replacement almost fully trained, who left right before he did. So it seems they lost two of their top-tier photographers back to back, yes.

    The photographer is waiting for that perfect shot . The light has to be just right.

    Very slow right now.

    But they zoomed through my two submissions last Fall so I'll give them a big pass and patiently wait till they get shipped.

    PCGS is fastest from June-October, it slows down in November-February.

    Llamas and alpacas are camels. They aren't like camels, or related. They are camels. When was anyone going to tell me this?! How long had Bill Nye been holding out on us?

    I think 15/40/45 doesn't ever change. It stays in "received" until they are almost ready to grade, so instead of staying in "grading" forever, "received" is now the default status.

    I have a world economy advertised at 60 days, went into grading status earlier this week with a 1/18 received date; we'll see.

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.
