PCGS Reports Q4 Submission Surge

PCGS reports a 12% increase in coin submissions during Q4, driven largely by modern commemoratives and classic silver dollars.

Submission Trends

Morgan and Peace dollars continue leading submission volume. Modern commemoratives showed the largest percentage increase, particularly America the Beautiful quarters in high grades.

Gold submissions remained steady while copper cents showed modest growth. The service attributes increased activity to new collectors entering the hobby.

Turnaround Times

Higher volume has extended standard turnaround times slightly. Collectors planning show submissions should factor in current processing delays.
