At the summer FUN show I dropped off coins with ANACS to be graded. They got to Denver on July 10 or 11. On ANACS's website, it says the expected ship date was Monday 8/14. I know it's only 3 days past their expected ship date, but it still says processing, and it's been 28 working days.

Is this a normal delay turn-around time when they have a big special (8 for $75), or should I have seen movement by now?

Haven't called, as I want to see what the general consensus is on this before I call.

TPG turnaround times that are listed on their respective websites are ESTIMATED times. When a big show just finishes up and there is some form of special advertised, one can expect longer turnaround times due to the increased submissions. Just sit back and wait.

...ironic coming from someone who hates to wait.

It also depends on what you asked for - variety attribution, unusual coins, those typically take longer.

As mentioned, their estimates are really only good for regular ideal turn around.

Waiting isn't something anyone can stand these days, so you are not alone. Computer phone in hand and instant delivery from the big boys has left the word patience far back in the dust.

ANACS is notoriously slow on their specials.

It says on the website you can track the status as far back as 60 days if you register. Maybe try that?

Well, they were graded and shipped today.

I guess it takes about 31 working days when they run a special.

Most people seem to feel if there not back the day after tomorrow, it's too long. They want it NOW!

The wheelbase of a Miata. Taller than the wheelbase of a Miata is too long or too Bigg.
