Nope. I called their Customer Service yesterday (29 Jan) and she stated that my order is in it's final stages and informed me that it has only been 21 business since it's acceptance. I mentioned that there must be a lot of "preferred/priority" customers pushing my order back. She replied that the only ones who get preferred treatment are the "walk-in" orders and that I needed to be a little more patient. Hmph.

At the end of yet another week of captivity, there is still no sign of my order on the "list" of action taken coins. sigh.
I am so bummed out that I had to make a purchase to ease my pain.
I can't keep up this "drowning my sorrows" in coins waiting on PCGS for much longer.

After a rather lengthy (for me) follow-up message to PCGS, to the general email address hoping to get someone other than the guy that I have been dealing with, I get the following message yesterday;
"Good Afternoon John,
Thank you for contacting PCGS Customer Service.
After viewing this order, it appears that it has taken a bit too long, so I will notify our grading room manager to expedite this order. You should be receiving an email specifying your grades very shortly.
If you have further questions or concerns, please contact PCGS Customer Service by email:"
The same guy, same "canned" message with no substance.
Another week in captivity, my coins are probably propping a door open to the break room.

Well to be fair - FUN, Long Beach submissions, all the X-Mas gifts being sent in, end of year tax time money must be spent by dealers. I'd guess Oct-March is the busiest time for them.

Those are some pretty coins ;-) The only ones I see that may be an issue with PCGS, would be your classic copper. It's hard to tell from your photo but your DBLC may get a code 97 for environmental damage. They are especially tough on anything questionable such as originality of the surfaces. The only one that concerns me is the DBLC. Keep us posted!

Yeah, photobucket frustrates the heck out of me at times.

Well, it's a little disappointing that they took so long. But your collection looks quite amazing!

Quote: if any don't cross will you sell the coin in the ANACS slab and purchase coins already graded by PCGS and NGC since you are putting together a PCGS/NGC 7070 set?
Seems like this situation has come up to the surface.
