I submiited a coin & paid for express service on the grading tier. Submission was acknowledged on 1/23/25 as an Express order. Status Updates from the NGC site: 1/27/25: " Grading, Encapsulation, Imaging" 1/30/25: " Grading / Quality Control " As of 2/26, status still shows "Grading / Quality Control" -- so it has been in the grading / QC queue for 18 business days. I plan to contact them next week if no news today or tomorrow. . . Asking those with NGC submittal experiences if this seems normal. Thank you.

NGC and PCGS are backed up. Some submissions are taking 30-45 days. I've had stuff graded in 10 days and as long as 45 days.

I sent my world coin submission to NGC before Thanksgiving. Still not graded.

3 weeks seems a long time in quality control. It wouldn't hurt to call them, especially since you paid for express service.

Yeah, if you are paying extra for a timeframe, they should either keep that timeframe or refund the difference.

Paying for express I would've already contacted them.

Contacted them today. Submission was completed but "on hold"; their "system" said I didn't have a CC on file (even though I provided one in the Payment & Signature portion of the submittal form  ). . . The CSR I spoke with was polite & professional, so there's that. . .he did explain they no longer offer the $5.00 upgrade to scratch-resistant holders. Submission should be shipped out next week.

NGC return shipment notice (via email) received this morning. As Tom Petty sang, "The waiting is the hardest part. . ." FEDEX says it will arrive on St. Patrick's Day
