PCGS.....turnaround Time?

I don't know how they do the free submissions but 6-8 weeks is the current turnaround for the economy submissions. The regular submissions are slower than normal, too.

Wold express is running at around 15 working days right now.

I submitted an economy order for 13 coins, received by PCGS on 6/21. Turnaround time at that time was 15 business days. Fifteen business days later, I checked my order - not done yet. And the PCGS site now listed a turnaround time of 20 business days. A week later, my order was still not done, and the website listed 25 days...One more week passed, and the website listed 30 days.

My order was indeed done after 30 business days, i.e. 6 weeks, but it was pretty discouraging that it took twice as long as the estimate at the time I submitted my order.

The world coin turnaround times are absolutely brutal right now. They might have to start grading on saturdays if they want to get that back log cleared.

The turn around times are not accurate as far as I can tell. My regular order took about 5 days longer than estimated, and my current express order was received on 9/19 and it's still not done after 8 days (and there's a 4 day turnaround estimate on that).

Sometimes they turnaround in as little as two weeks (10 days) and some take two months+, depending on if there was a major coin show in the same month.

My recent 4 coin submittal has finally been received/accepted on 10/1/2013.

Now the real waiting begins. Regular 15 Business Day Estimated Turnaround, plus 3 to 5 days for variety attribution...which would be around Halloween.
