Yes, they have to be in the original shipping box after 30 days for first strike. Btw, good luck on your order.
That’s the issue. The coins were in their original mint sealed shipping boxes placed inside a larger box and shipped to PCGS, like always. They seem to be saying NO, the larger shipping box must be postmarked within 30 days. This disregards the mint ship date of the mint sealed box.
I sent mine in the shipping box and everything seems okay. https://www.pcgs.com/shared-orders/order-details/22482770 And my Peace dollars. https://www.pcgs.com/shared-orders/order-details/22482779
I really hate the mint for shipping all those at the exact same time causing them to get swamped and now everything takes forever. I've got an order there for a month now that hasnt even been graded yet
Mine arrived in California on 11/4, express and nothing yet. I also have graded coins on consignment which took approx 40 days to just get 1 of the 36 coins listed. The others are still pending list.
I'm not sure how much they've been hurt by the restrictions being where they are but even working Saturdays too everythings taken forever. I just really hope I don't get stuck like some people I've seen that are on month 4 still waiting
