Sets and special labels

GhosOfRudy

I read the PCGS set rules and Ctrl-F'd for "first" and didn't see it, but does First Day of Issue or First strike or Mercanti signed labels at all impact set scores, or do all labels weigh the same?

I've got a few "First Strikes" and nothing changes. The only parts that change the scoring that I know of are RD, RB, BN, DCAM, and DCAM.

*Edit
There is also FBL for Franklins and FB for Mercs and Roosies.

Right. Saw those in the rules as well. OK, thank you. I was looking at the Mercury Design Palladium sets, and the cost differential on labels like First Day 1 of 100 were a considerable amount more!

Hello @GhosOfRudy

As of now, no, special labels do not currently carry a higher rating than non-special labels. However, in the future, this is definitely a possible update to some of the Registry sets.

For the PCGS 2019 Quarter Quest composite, we did add bonus points for the special pedigrees and coin numbers assigned to certain coins. This was the first set of this kind and the overwhelmingly positive feedback will help us with future Set Registry updates.
