Getting the same coin back from NGC, PCGS

I'm pretty sure it is not, but would like a final answer if you get on from James. I overnighted them a package on Wednesday which they signed for Thursday morning. It was a 2-day Express submission and I requested being faxed the grades. If it starts when they get the package, today would be the second day and I should have had the grades faxed to me, but I haven't and they are closed now. I'll likely get the fax on Monday - which would be 2 business days AFTER they received the package.

Just a follow-up to my 2-day submission. They got it on Thursday morning and Monday afternoon I got a call* from ANACS. I assume that the graders had just looked at them before the call, so that would be 2-days not including the day the package was opened.

And today I got the faxed results - which I believe are sent the same day they are mailed back.

*They couldn't authenticate the two coins I sent them and needed a few weeks to send them to an outside specialist. I declined due to time constraints.

Here are the two coins I submitted:

 

Dog-gone-it....if you sent me the coins you sent them I would have to do the same thing...what are they???

They are Swiss 1/2 talers (medallic). They are both from the Swiss Canton of Beromuenster dated 1720. They were originally struck to commemorate the 1000th Anniversary of the founding of the abbey by the Count of Lenzburg, Bero. They depict St. Michael slaying the dragon. While dated 1720, they were restruck for around 100 years after that in order to be presented as awards and gifts to honored recipients.

As best as I know: The top one was struck in 1797 and the design is one of the more frequent ones to come on the market. It's unpriced in Krause, just listed as "Rare".

The bottom one (which is the one I'm a little unsure about its authenticity) was struck in 1810. While priced in the Krause, it comes up for sale less frequently than the unpriced one above.

I'm looking to put the entire set (three 1/4T & two 1/2T) of them together, but they come up for sale so infrequently and can get rather expensive, so it is a slow process.
