"Although the Coronavirus has left many of us working from home, or working with restrictions, it is great to see that the coin collecting community and the dealers are for the most part, fairly close to "business as usual." Of course, these restrictions make it more difficult to do simple things like delivering mail to the post office, or interacting with customers or other dealers in person (coin shows are shut down across the United States, for example), the internet is a thriving place for collectors and dealers. With a few clicks, photos and prices can be sent to customers, and with Pay Pal payments can be made. The USPS and other mail services are still running, and will continue to, and so shipments can be both sent and received. So although things are more difficult, it's still a thriving marketplace and community of collectors and dealers. We hope all out customers stay safe, and we look forward to helping you do some work building or collection (even if it's just through phone calls and the internet!)

We have had a very nice run of major and also less expensive errors lately, which are mostly up on the website (although there is still a quantity of fresh inventory coming down the pipe, which will be listed over the next month or so.) "

"Today we're happy to announce that PCGS is re-opening the operations of our Orange County, California office.

"Due to the liquidity we provide to numismatic trading markets worldwide, PCGS is essential and able to operate as needed during the current global pandemic. However, out of an abundance of caution for both our employees and customers, we took a measured and responsible approach and briefly closed our offices. During our temporary closure, we developed and implemented an ongoing safety plan that ensures the well-being of both employees and customers alike. It was only then, along with the commitment of our team, that we chose to reopen our doors."

"We have determined that we are forced to cancel the 44th annual IPMS show scheduled for June 10-13 in Kansas City, Missouri at the Sheraton Crown Center Hotel and Convention Center.

"We are providing written notification to the hotel today, April 16th, so our room block will be cancelled, and cancellations of rooms can begin. The Sheraton has been working well with us during this tricky time, but they understand that no one much wants to get on a flight or be subject to quarantine before leaving or arrival. Let's stay close to home and remain safe and healthy.

"We are currently working on the auction catalogs (online only) and other events and offerings we can do through our online platforms.

"I have not given up on the possibility for holding an event later in 2020, but we are working on a 2021 date in Las Vegas within our early summer time frame.

"We are saddened by the cancellation, but we have a renewal spirit for 2021 IPMS."

"As of today, we have minimal staff who have returned to the Mint in order to begin the process of dispatching outstanding orders for the 5th Hercules as well as orders for other coins. We have put measures in place to maintain social distancing to minimise risk to health and well being of all during the COVID-19 outbreak, this means response times will be longer than normal.

"Please bear with us as we are working hard on being able to dispatch your orders as well as keeping our staff safe. We would also like to make our customers aware that the delivery of orders via Royal Mail is delayed. We found the vast majority of orders shipped before we closed took between 7 - 10 days to arrive. This is considerably longer than normal and we ask for your patience with delivery times as many of the postal services are following advice from the Public Health Authority.

"Please note, that our phone lines are still closed for the next few days whilst we focus on dispatching orders but they will be open again soon and emails and Facebook messages will be responded to but will still have a delayed response time. "
