My PCGS submission (economy) is now 122 (calander) days outstanding.
Anyone else having similiar problems ?
Did you have anything unusual in the submission ?
I've got one coin over there (was sent by a dealer) at the moment. Was sent before christmas and arrived there 10/01/13.
Only up to 30 business days with no grades..
A long way off the 55 days (was 50) on their site, and a LONG way away from yours!

Nothing unusual.
Just Aussie pre-decimal (18 items).
Hmm.. Economy is out to 58 business days now, up from 55. That still means you're approx 27 working days over that!
I was thinking of sending an economy submission over to use my voucher, I might just make make it a modern. They're only at 18 days.
Have they provided any feedback or proof they still have the submission / coins ?

No more info at this point.
They will eventually get through the system - I will just have to wait.
Main reason for the post was to let people know about the delays.

I just checked and they are up to 63 working days for world economy.
Too bad for those running a business. Wonder what the issue is.
And I was worried about my submission which is about 70 days out.
Looks like they're having a lot of volume go through.
Could someone please expalin in simple trems what the problem is?
Goldy it's the time PCGS are taking to grade coins that we send over to them. It's the number of working days since they received the submission. They have a suggested time which you can refer to based on how busy they are but lately they have really dropped the ball and these times have blown out. It's not good for business.
Sounds like they are either showing less interest in Australain coins or there has been an influx of
Australain coins to grade due to increased demand in slabbed coins
It's probably more world coins vs US coins -not specifically Australian.
Thanks for the responses.
Has anyone asked PCGS if they still have your submission?
Just noticed PCGS dropped the service time by 1 day.
Modern world dropped by 2 days to 18 days which is reasonable.
I posted my 2010 heritage set over yesterday.
Any word on your coins Echidna ?

I got one that arrived that day, that's 61 working days already, you got any grades yet? I haven't. :(
I haven't heard anything from the dealer who submitted it, and the population report hasn't changed for a while.
The turnaround time for the economy submissions has come down, but the modern has gone up to 34 days.

Im thinking of giving ngc a go for some pre decimals.
Has anyone used their services?

2010 heritage set
1c - PR68DC (not unexpected but would have been nice in PR69)
2c - PR69DC (I was expecting PR68 the same as the 1c)
5c - PR68DC - unexpected..at least this coin isn't one of the 400 mintage ones so I should be able to get a PR69 at some point in time.
10c - PR69DC
20c - PR69DC
Silver Round 50c - PR69DC (happy dance for this one!!)
