Submitted 13 coins to PCGS using economy service + variety attribution on 10/25/13. Grades received 11/13/13. Shipped out 11/14/13.
I have had seven PCGS submissions this year - here are the details: Number/Type; Date Received; Date Shipped 4 World; 03/15; 05/01 - this was my yearly freebie, may account for longer time. 2 Economy; 06/05; 06/18 9 World-Modern; 06/05; 08/12 4 Modern; 06/05; 06/13 6 Economy; 08/06; 09/10 6 Modern; 08/30; 09/20 11 World-Modern; 09/12; 10/02 In all cases, items were shipped within 48 hours of grades and packages were received promptly. I have at least one more PCGS submission planned, and likely an NGC for later this year.
Sent off 7 coins to PCGS for regular (15 day) service with variety attribution. Received 11/12/13, grades given 11/15/13, shipped 11/19/13. 3 days to grade and they weren't even express?!?!? WOW.
Reviving an old thread... accidentally sent a boatload of coins in regular and it's been one month tomorrow. I usually use express and walkthru. Anybody send anything in Regular 1/21/14?? Have some express send in 2/13/14 also... I wish they'd give realistic turn around times on their page. It should be updated somehow via their invoice software.

Two PCGS orders. Order 1. Ecomony grading with variety attribution - Received 2/21/14 Shipped 4/1/14 Order 2 Regular service with variety attribution - Received 3/5/14 Shipped 4/1/14 With the load of Baltimore submissions, I'd venture a guess that the turnaround times will be even slower than this for a few weeks until they get caught up.
