More impatience

My PCGS submission (economy) is now 122 (calander) days outstanding.
Anyone else having similiar problems ?

Fr45h3R · February 21, 2013, 08:33:23 PM

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.

drakesterling · February 26, 2013, 01:43:47 PM

And I was worried about my submission which is about 70 days out.

Looks like they're having a lot of volume go through.

Goldseeker · February 27, 2013, 08:46:56 PM

Could someone please expalin in simple trems what the problem is?

purplepennyhunter · February 28, 2013, 07:05:46 AM

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.

stevo1962 · February 28, 2013, 08:29:55 AM

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

purplepennyhunter · February 28, 2013, 09:31:20 AM

It's probably more world coins vs US coins -not specifically Australian.

Goldseeker · February 28, 2013, 08:15:56 PM

Thanks for the responses.

Has anyone asked PCGS if they still have your submission?

Fr45h3R · March 05, 2013, 08:17:12 PM

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.

Fr45h3R · April 06, 2013, 12:24:05 PM

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.
