Milk Spots and PCGS refunds

I recently sent coins in to PCGS to have Milk spots removed from the 20th anniversary silver reverse proof(2) and MS uncirculated coin(1). They offered me fair market value for the coins and I took it. How long does it generally take for them to send you your money?

    If you "recently" sent them in and already have an "offer"; I'd say you're way ahead of the game...
  • HAHA.....Actually they have had them since September. Just got offered around December 20th. I guess recently to me means like less then 6 months....

    Your check should be sent within a business day or two of the amounts that were agreed upon. Very much similar to having grades posted.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!
  • Hmmmm. Well they must be sending it by pony express then. Thanks for the info.

    I'd guess anytime soon for the check then. I sent mine in Sept as well and I know the check is being sent very soon. Actually they were ready to send it a week or two ago but I asked them to wait until this week. Araceli Diaz has been easy to communicate with about the status.

    I was going to PM this but you don't have your PM turned on.
  • I didnt realize I needed to turn the PM on. Just did...thanks . Yes the communication with PCGS is real good. The process of sending them in was really slow but with all the Milk Spot problems Im sure they are mighty busy.

    your refund is probably sitting at the bottom of a mail sack somewhereimage

    Personally, I think the fault lies with the US Mint, but it seems to be exacerbated by location.

    Here on the Gulf Coast, we have relatively high temps and high humidity, yet with over 800+ of these, most raw, some slabbed, I've yet to have a single milk spot(knock wood).

    Seem like folks on the East and West Coasts have the most problems from what I read.
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."
