<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1101126, member: 19065"]I suppose a combination of factors must be at play, back logged orders to grade, bulk submissions to handle consistently, a pace that doesn't burn out the graders, competition with other TPGs, researching rare and high grade notes... It must be a difficult moment to grade the first submission of a given series (especially older notes) or very small population notes as it starts a frame of reference for maintaining the grading scale and how to measure all other notes from a given series thereafter. Life is like that, complex combinations of factors unique to the circumstance at a given time, not something simply answered and bowing to our excitement and anticipation. Just have to sit tight when we let items go out for submission. 2-4 months is certainly a tough wait, but it was also tough to go without certain Mint products like the collector version Eagles coins canceled in 2009 after regular availability for some 23 years annually. The wait from 2008 issued Eagle coins to the return of 2010 Eagles was a long one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
