PCGS turnaround time 60 days

Didnt someone fly around the world in the same amount of time? Dont worry, just write RUSH on the package and well take care of it.

Being as though it was our mistake, we'll send you a voucher

I've been dealing with PCGS for 5 years and have never seen a voucher, can somebody show me one?

It was 80 days.

The 60 days is for economy service, which is not guaranteed. Vouchers are only for Regular and higher.

Russ, In your honest opinion, do you feel like a 60 (business)day turnaround is acceptable?

It's calender days for economy.

Glad I don't have an economy box taxiing behind a hundred thousand PRDCAM Sac $1s to get to the grading runway. But we'll see how long 22 variety attributions take (already graded and slabbed). I'm sure the couple hundred over at NGC (submitted the same day at the show) will likely beat them, even the crossovers with attributions.

First, it's not business days for economy and modern. It's calendar days. That said, no, I think it's too long. When I first started submitting they were averaging about three weeks. I'd like to see them get back down to that.

On my last submission, after three calender months had elapsed I called to inquire about my submission. I was told that being as though they dont count weekends and holidays, my order was right on time.

The CS person you spoke with was misinformed. Economy and modern estimates have always been calendar days. But, they are called "estimates" for a reason. There is no guarantee.

We've all had our disappointments with Economy Service at PCGS. Economy is neither acceptable nor unacceptable. It's just there. Goes up; Goes down, obviously dependent on the nr. of coins in the system. I don't see how it can be helped not to bog down. There is a way to permanently fix the Economy lag times though. And, that's to just eliminate the sevice ($18) altogether. Then the lowest level would be Regular ($30). And, do you know what would happen then? Regular service would get bogged down. Economy service is doing exactly what it's suppose to do. It maintains the integrity of the of levels of service's turnaround times. That's how it's set up and that's what it's suppose to. We're stuck with it mainly because it's working!!!
