I just got an Email stating that PCGS has received my 1928 Quarter Eagle for grading. The submission site says the turn-around is about 45 days. Is this accurate or are they playing it safe?

The 45 days is for economy turnaround. Did you submit just the one coin? At $50? If so, it's a guaranteed 7 business days not including show days.

As of the last month, playing it very safe.

My 5 day took 3.

My last 15 day took about 10, my last economy took about 15.

I think they were expediting for some reason in June.

I paid $40.00, the rate on the form I downloaded for Special Issues(Colonials, Fractional Gold.) I hope that was the right rate.

End of the quarter. Either that, or pushing them out in time for the set registry awards.

A 1928 2 1/2 is not a special issue.

It'll be interesting to see what they do since you submitted a coin that would normally be a $50 Express submission.

I am new at this and I thought it was a fractional gold coin. I guess I have learned something new .

Thank you

I just open my new member packet that I got today. I guess it is considered Small Gold (U.S. $1, $2-1/2, $3, $5) which the standard fee is $20.00 The Express Special is $40.00. All of this is according to the PCGS Fee Schedule that was in my packet.

I guess I will just wait and see.

Thank you all for your response.

The "fractional" refers to fraction of a dollar, for example this 25¢:

Noticed your sig photo - my father is a Tin Can Sailor, was on the USS Roan (DD-853).

Like Russ said, it will be interesting to see how they work out the submission.
