Surely you must be kidding!

As collectors we want our newly purchased coins in hand right now...we are an impatient lot. After careful consideration and reflection I hope NGC will ignore this latest round of complaints and just continue doing their job of accurately grading my coins. I think all would agree that having a fast turn-around time is not in the best interest of collectors. There are other TPG companies out there if you want your coins back in a day or two. Frankly, I take comfort in knowing that three different graders are evaluating my coin and I don't mind waiting rather than have them feel pressured to run my coin 'thru the mill'.

If NGC was just trying to make money they could take shortcuts with the grading process and reduce turn around times and all would be happy, except the discerning collector who paid hard earned money for an honest evaluation. Hats off to NGC for resisting the temptation, for keeping their reputation in tact, providing us with a great registry to show off our coins, and this journal where we can share experiences, opinions, and the occasional complaint.

Keep up the good work, NGC!
