Maybe I’ll have it back before it has its 5 month anniversary at PCGS…

    Geez. Talk about slow!

    To be fair, it IS a rather esoteric piece, but still…

    I was at a show last week and heard at least 3 dealers complaining about PCGS' wait times. One said he had just gotten back a submission from January.

    I recall a conversation with another bigger dealer who said he had 800 coins in for grading because of how extended their turnaround times are.

    There will always be a grading market for very expensive coins, but the TPG's risk killing the low end of their market by incentivizing people to get better at grading lower priced coins on their own.

    It takes a lot for me to even think about submitting right now, unless the jump in price is obscenely high between grades.

    Do you offer a 5-month turnaround for that service?

    I'm curious if you submit through a coin shop/dealer or by yourself?

    In today's world, instant gratification is expected, but the reality is different.
