<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 24655262, member: 77639&quot;]You may not know it, but you can see the orders that PCGS has in progress or recently completed.&nbsp; Go to <a href="http://www.pcgs.com/shared-orders/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com/shared-orders/" rel="nofollow">www.pcgs.com/shared-orders/</a>.&nbsp; About 3,200 orders are available for viewing.</p><p><br /></p><p>The orders are in 3 categories: Quality Check where only coin descriptions are available, Shipped or Delivered where coin descriptions and grades are available.&nbsp; If pictures are available, you can see those too.</p><p><br /></p><p>I look at the orders once in a great while.&nbsp;&nbsp; With the latest look, I was surprised that most of the orders were world coins.&nbsp; Of the 20 latest orders in the Shipped category, 15 were exclusively Chinese coins, 1 was Great Britain, 1 was Bulgaria, 1 was mixed Far East, 1 was mixed Asia, and 1 was about 10% US coins and the rest world coins.&nbsp; I’m not sure how US and world coins came to be on the same order.&nbsp;&nbsp; I skipped to the end (all Delivered category) and looked at the oldest 6 orders.&nbsp; They were all Chinese coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I’m not sure what is the time span of 3,200 orders … maybe a few days, maybe a week or two.&nbsp; Anybody know how many orders PCGS gets per day?&nbsp; Could be determined by daily monitoring of listed orders.&nbsp; It would be the minimal number though because submitters can elect not to share their orders.</p><p><br /></p><p>The current predominance of world coins could be unusual.&nbsp; Maybe in a couple of weeks, it will be mostly US coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
