In reply to DRS. I need to update my post. After initially reading so many negative posts it was easy to worry about the notes I had sent for grading. This is not my first rodeo as I have sent hundreds of coins through the mail to be graded and have had many varied experiences so I probably should have been a bit more patient in this instance. Long story short I received my graded notes today a bit more than 1 month since I sent them! I have no complaints regarding Legacy and am sorry I made a hasty judgement earlier.

In reply to DRS. If your package has not yet been delivered, you can absolutely have USPS return it. Just search "USPS package intercept" and fill out the form. You could also call the recipient's post office and ask them to return your package if has been there for more than 15 days. You could also call your local postal inspectors for advice. They may be able to help you if you show them the $650,000 Stack's Bowers' fraud judgment against Jason Bradford and his corporation.

Foolishly, I trusted the old reputation of PCGS and sent my notes to Legacy. Now, after having sent them and tracking shows them sitting at post office not picked up, I find many sites like this with all kinds of horror stories I wish I knew before I sent my notes……….foolish me!!!! While I am not a big time collector, still, my locally historical notes mean a great deal to me and the frustration of seeing how this once was “business” is NOT being attended to makes my blood boil!!! Trying to intercept and re-direct my mail does not work, according to the USPS guidelines.
Today, 10-30-2019, same old story; no answer to emails; no answer of telephone and mail box is full unable to leave message…GEEEEE, I wonder why!!!!!
I have read many comments at different sites and see no real solutions have been found. Does anyone know the physical address of legacy…is there one??
Thanks and good luck to all………..thank you for posting, just wish I had looked before I went to the post office and probably lost my notes forever!

My experience with Jason Bradford and PCGSC/Legacy was an eight-month wait to get my very valuable notes back (not certified, of course). I am still waiting for a four figure fee refund but doubt that I will ever receive one.

The return of my notes would have taken far longer had I not threatened to sue. Others achieved results by complaining about Bradford to the Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG), but PNG’s website no longer lists him as a member.

You could try to complain to the Professional Currency Dealers Association (PCDA), which still lists Bradford as a member, but I have heard from reliable sources that you will be wasting your time.

Other trade associations, like the American Numismatic Association (ANA) and Society of Paper Money Collectors (SPMC), do not list Bradford as a member. Gee, I wonder why.

Update

I followed Stephen M. Webbers post and contacted Professional Numismatists Guild (Info@PNGDelears.Org) and spoke the President, of PNG; his intervention got my currencies returned promptly graded in Legacy Holder.
When I spoke To Heritage Auction I was informed that Legacy Holders have Not Been Recognized by the numismatics industry and I will have to re-graded them by PMG and issued in new holders.

I also have Very Bad Experience With Legacy Currency Grading. I submitted 46 Notes on March 15, 2019, and Mailed it to Their Office In Peoria IL I was able to speak with Their receptionist and My Credit Card Was Charged $2680.00 For Grading Service. I found out That They Moved To Bradford TN and Still Has same IL Phone Number Called Number Of Times But unable to contact anyone and left a voicemail that has not been answered. Am concerned that I am Also the Victim Of A Froud. Would Appreciate Any Help to Recover My Submitted Notes And Refund Of Froudulart Charges.

In reply to Hawk. PCGSC/Legacy has had my notes for 9 1/2 months. I’m not a big dealer, just a club member that can’t get a response from anyone. I guess people like me don’t matter to these thieves. Does anyone have any advice out there? Who do I contact? Thanks in advance.

Tried Legacy for grading in June 2019. Good results! They were punctual in returning the graded notes and the accuracy seemed quite appropriate.

HOWEVER, I just read an article that the President of Legacy has been suspended from the Numismatic Association effective July 17, 2019!!! I also read the President of PMG has taken over the PCGS grading operation and it will likely be called PCGS GOLD or some moniker that closely resembles that. The article also said it would NOT be accepting new notes until some undefined point in the future. Perhaps the delay is to allow them to clear up the backlog of notes to be graded?

Wonder what this means to the PCGS / Legacy deal that has been in place?

Needless to say we will note be sending any PCGS notes to Legacy for re-holdering given this news.
