    Then it must be the number of coins I submitted. They received my submission on 11/29/2019 and show my coins' expected ship date of 1/3/2020. Here's what they had to say when I questioned, "Why so long?" ANACS Xmas Slowdown.jpg

    Yes, that is probably the exact reason. I only submitted one coin. Good point.

    What is the normal turnaround rate at Anacs? In the past, a 30 day turnaround at PCGS would have been considered fast.

    Did not know USPS was going in the healthcare business.

    Depends what tier you use. If you used one of their specials it’s usually a 30 day minimum.

    My last order with ANACS, for about a dozen and a half coins, was opened by them on 10/28/2019 and shipped out on 11/18/2019, or about 3 weeks.

    I should have specified. I'm talking their equivalent of Regular or Economy. I've had both at PCGS take anywhere from 6-8 weeks. The last year it has gotten better, but now where it used to take 1 day to have a packaged logged into the system after being received it takes a week to 10 days before the turnaround countdown begins.

    There's definitely a major backup in receiving, as of last week NGC was about a week behind their normal times for that as well.

    They have a 1,2,5 and the 15 day tier would be their version of regular. The economy tier generally takes about the same time as the specials at a month or more or it has for me at least when I've used it. Sometimes an easy submission will be a little quicker.

    Just wait until next month when all the Monster boxes of ASE's start arriving. If you are smart you don't submit in January, unless you don't mind a LONG wait. And most people here do mind.

    Update: Looks like massive OT to clear up the backlog and grades should post today.
