Collectors club quarterly freebie: Received 3/13/08

Grade posted today, 4/3/08

Translation: 15 business days...... not too bad.

But it took 2 days after delivery "attempt" to get into sysytem.

<<

Mine also took two days to get into the system, the USPS showed delivered the morning of the 31st, got emailed and updated to received last night by PCGS (the 2nd of April) before it was entered into the system. This is the Quarterly special and an economy submission.

sanitarium1inmate · April 3, 2008 8:44AM

Shipped 2/14
received at PCGS 2/26
Shipped to me.......not yet with no grades yet.

20-30 business days sure seems like a long time, you think they are hiring for any positions. Maybe a small one just to get the ball rolling.

Barndog · April 3, 2008 8:50AM

business day 18 for Collector's Club submission. This is a record for me.

Manorcourtman · April 3, 2008 8:55AM

The modern times are taking longer than the classic stuff now.....Who'd have thunk? The Peanut gallery is starting to grumble.

no offense intended, but you suck!

Today is business day 19 on a collector's club submission. Maybe they were bewildered by my audacity to send in total pieces of crap expecting them to grade the coins?

I'm wondering if it matters what type of coins you send in... Mine were all Morgans.

Modern $14 rate

66RB · April 10, 2008 7:47AM

Figured I'd bump this one back up as I received my grades yesterday.

I submitted at the Baltimore show and PCGS entered them in on 3/6, economy crossovers.

economy entered 3/6, grades received 4/9.

gemstatecoins · April 10, 2008 9:42PM

I just put in two submission orders;

1) 8 coin Platinum Membership Submission received on 4/4/08 (9088449)

2) 10 coin Express ($50 each) Submission received on 4/10/08 (9089103)

I'll keep you posted on turnaround and results...........

MJH · April 10, 2008 10:52PM

Quarterly submission.

Received 3/15

Shipped 4/7

mheffner2 · April 15, 2008 12:44PM

Quarterly Submission as well: Received 4/1/08, grade received 4/15/08. Works for me.

rgCoinGuy · April 16, 2008 2:00AM

The quarterly submission on my order was also posted last night, coin logged in on the 2nd. Still awaiting the economy submission results logged in the same day.

Connecticoin · April 16, 2008 2:24AM

Economy: Rec. 3/11, Shipped 4/3

Regular: Rec. 3/11, Shipped 4/9

Regular: Rec. 4/2, Shipped 4/14

Economy: Rec. 4/2, pending

They may have mixed up my economy / regular submissions received on 3/11!!

AU58WALKERS · April 16, 2008 2:27AM

regular service 5 cross overs 15 work days untill graded and shipped

aficionado · April 16, 2008 2:45AM

For "regular" service, (15 days):

Put in the system on 4/7, got the grades 4/15. On there way back in a day or two.

With 15 days to work with, it could have taken til 4/25.

My previous "modern" submission, pretty much took the entire 30 days. That was about a month ago. Maybe they are catching up..

That was fast, mine were received 3/27 and nothing yet. One submission was regular service the other a quarterly special.

DRUNNER · April 16, 2008 3:02AM

I was just starting to post a new thread "Anyone aware of any PCGS problems in turnaround?" when this thread came back.

Many of you have gotten your economy submissions back that were received AFTER mine (3/6) . . . mine was mailed 2/29 Registered and not "received" until 3/6. I'll blame that one on the USPS (???)

But it's now 4/16 . . . 30 days after being "received". I wonder if they are taking longer because they are 'classics' . . . I sent in around 13 of my better (VF-AU) Indian Cents. Maybe they take longer if they are 'real' coins in 'tweener' grades???

But yeah . .I'm a bit concerned . .

My Economy order (crossovers) was logged in March 6. Still waiting for results.

I'd be carful around here what you call real coins.

I would assume that there are graders reserved for different coins. Could be the ones who handle Indian cents are backlogged vs. those who sent in modern coins went to a larger number of available graders.

Mine was sent in as crossover which I am assuming is another set of delays.

DRUNNER · April 16, 2008 3:18AM

Ben . .

You are right. A bit tongue-in-cheek !! :-)

Wondered if anyone would catch that. But you are right . . I would presume different graders for traditionals . .

Drunner

BECOKA · April 18, 2008 7:26AM

OK, received 3/27 and grades posted 4/18.

Little disappointed. This was 10 crossovers. The ones I thought would downgrade crossed and the ones that I thought would cross did not or got picked for altered surfaces.

RBinTex · April 18, 2008 7:29AM

Someone should set up a website where anyone can enter submission numbers and have all the actual times posted.

yellowjacket · April 18, 2008 11:52AM

Sent economy 2/23/08, returned 4/16/08.

tydye · April 21, 2008 7:28AM

I received a 3-12 economy today in the mail. Still have 2 outstanding from the same time. One is in transit and another is still ungraded. Funny thing is I am still awaiting anything from NGC for some So-called dollars I sent in around the same time. I always thought PCGS was the slower service

LeeG · April 28, 2008 12:26PM

Regular Submission shipped to PCGS on 03/27. On it's way back today, BB for Altered Surface:

That's too bad Lee. That's a stunning half cent.
Do you have any idea what they saw?
