    waiting....

    Waiting for your coins' report to come back from PCGS is like waiting in the hospital for the wife to give birth.

    Their system of grading is NOT - first-in-first-out so all you can do is wait and wonder. At least a nurse stops by and gives you an update in the delivery room now and then...

    Is this in reference to the 1911D you posted a couple of weeks ago?

    Here's a tidbit for future consideration when sending coins in for grading. I had a friend (yes I did! LOL) say the best time of year to send in coins is spring time, after the gloomy months of winter. Evidently there is some indication people are in a more upbeat and generous mood.

    Maybe PCGS needs to hire nurses to give out updates.

    It's all about the Benjamins at the grading companies.

    The baby girl turns 1 next week already. The kids grow so fast. I've decided to keep sending coins in to PCGS because that's the only way I've found to make time feel like it's standing still.

    They do learn rapidly at this age, unlike the grading companies.
    Has she (or her older brother) started to help unwrap any packages for you yet? What could possibly go wrong.

    I submitted (6) Lincoln cents to PCGS on June 26, 23 PCGS did not bill my credit card until August 30,23 and I did not receive the coins in the mail until September 9th, 79 days. The worst part was PCGS graded all the lincoln cent as counterfeit. Submitted the same coins to NCG and ANACS and they had a different opinion. See the coins and grading details I posted earlier this morning.

    Best regards
