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…

 

This is an interesting piece from the 80 Years War with a beheading scene on it (“Spaniards behaving badly”).

I think mine is nicer than the Numista plate coin.

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?
