So two weeks in “no mans land” at NGC. Maybe we were lucky getting in before the big rush? Or were we the slow ones??? 🤣

With fingers crossed we got in at just the right time!

My submission is still not on the system from 15 days ago, looks like I’m in for a huge wait 

[louisfinlay]

I was speaking to them last Monday and they are 6 days behind with opening deliveries.

I'm in Florida and mine is taking its time too, location doesn't seem to speed things up.

The London office? I spoke with them yesterday and they just said they have had a lot of submissions in the last few weeks and not to worry as they are working through them

Did you send to London? I sent mine today direct to U.S.A 

Hey Louis,

I might do that next time. Pointless waiting for it to go in a bulk shipment with everyone else.

I got my coin conserved and has been in the grading dept for at least 4 days now...but my v75 took about three weeks after acceptance and that was before the .backlog

I didn't send to N.G.C in London I sent direct myself to Florida. 

Is yours on the NGC system as waiting to be graded then??

Maybe sending to London office is faster?? 

[DarkChameleon]

I'm just a short drive from Sarasota, just send them all to me and I'll drive them up...lol...there might be a small charge for gas.

You should.

Mine is now grading/quality control 👍

Mine have still not appeared on the system - I also called just to check and they said they had a huge backlog of submissions. Not sure if this will effect the First Release designation if you chose that or not but with current turnarounds, prob looking to get coins back in June sometime. Curse all these new first time graders slowing things down for us regulars

Did you opt for conservation?

Yes, see picture above 😂 

+ Conservation

I wonder if this will slow it down from now 🤔 

Edit - If conservation is a “con” then mine will be two days behind the ones without conservation (after not needing it) but I bet I’m still charged for it!!  🧐

Did you get yours conserved? I’m just curious how it’s a 30 day wait for conservation and I’m only 2 days behind you?

I wonder if conservation is being “blown by a hair dryer” to remove dust for 99.9% of modern coins???

Be interested if you are charged for it; I thought when a coin arrives in London they check if they think it needs conservation and if not it’s sent for grading and if they say it would benefit it goes to NCS first and then grading and it should add a fair amount of time to the process?

No. I did think about it. Could have probably have done with it. The capsule was open when it arrived do not expecting a top grade.
