    A valuable pedigree. In the rare coin market a pedigree is a contributing factor in the pride of ownership and value of the coin. Coins from famous collections such as Eliasberg, Norweb, Garrett, etc., usually command a premium in the marketplace. If you participate in the PCGS Set RegistrySM program your set may qualify for the free pedigree service. The free pedigree service policy is as follows:

    The set must be 100% complete.
    The set must be in the top 5 in the Registry.
    Sets with less than 10 coins may be pedigreed if warranted. The decision will be that of PCGS experts.
    The Registry member is responsible for shipping and handling costs.
    The fee for pedigrees for upgrades to your set submitted after the initial pedigree is $5 a coin ($20 a coin for coins graded MS or Proof 70.) Your set must remain in the top five to qualify.

    To confirm that your set qualifies for the free Pedigree Service, contact customer service at setregistry@collectors.com. Then mail with your coins a PCGS submission form and a printed page from the set registry that lists your set in the top five.
    Please note: Pedigrees can be up to 22 characters in length. If the coin has a variety designation (i.e. Type 1, Type 2, etc.), this is included as part of the total character count. Please note on your submission form if you would like your coins sequentially numbered. PCGS no longer certifies coins with green inserts.

    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Wondo has a great question and one I will find out tomorrow at Long Beach. I have a couple of half dimes that come from Garrett and I would like to get them crossed from NGC holders into PCGS with the Garrett pedigree.

    I'm not sure exactly what Wondo is looking for, pedigrees from the previous owners or with a "new" pedigree.

    Can I have a "Wondo" pedigree on my coins just like Mad-Marty?
