Registry Sets

CoinKing

Hi Everyone,

We're starting to build some new World Coin sets to add to the PCGS Set Registry. If you have a particular country or series of coins you would like to see built, please let us know. We have our own ideas as to what might be popular, but we'd also like to hear from you, as well. Pick sets or countries that will appeal to as broad a base of collectors as possible...we want to build sets where people will actually participate.

Many thanks,

Hi, Ron --

I'd like to see UK registry proof sets by year for the more common issues: 1902, 1911, 1927, 1937, 1950, 1951, 1953 and 1970. The date runs by denomination for proofs are way too challenging for the average collector. Also, how about UK non-gold type sets by monarch?

Another set I'd like to see would be a Mexican 20th-century type set.

Brit copper is always popular around here.

Tootawl

Britannias, Kookaburras, and other world silver bullion coins.
If there is a registry set for SAEs, why not world silver bullion?

Those are pretty much covered already, aren't they?

How about British Vicky Gold.

Erm...I believe that's been there for 3 years.

Welcome to the Forums, Cladiator.

Any country from the former British empire would probably go over well.

Hey what can I say? It's been a long day.

How about 1958 Vatican Mint Set and a 1958 Grt Brit Mint Set (for us Mint Set Guys) ??????? I have the coins, but no home for them......

And I would like to see some Irish predecimal sets!

That would be good, too.

A couple of others for the wish list:

Panama Type Set

Cuba Type Set

Hi Ron,

I would like to see registry sets for China Panda gold and silver coins.

Thanks.

<< <i>Swiss type set. >>

Better yet than the 1F date set.

Hi Ron,

I would like to see a Registry set of Imperial German Mark & Half Mark Silvers, and....

how about giving us sub-sets of the Canadian Maritime coppers (in particular Newfoundland) similar to the way you have constructed them for the Canadian Coppers (i.e. 1858 to 1901 Victoria, 1902 - 1910 Edward VII, 1911-1920 George V Large Cents, etc) vs one long undivided string of dates.

Thanks for Asking!
Best Regards,
Ron Bozarth

Well, to be official, a Victorian Type Set covering the copper, copper/bronze, and silver issues might garner a good bit of participation.

It would also increase interest to further sub-divide those into the Young Head, Jubilee Head, and Old Head types; the latter two being quite easy in silver and bronze (Old Head anyway). The Bun Head bronzes create a bit of an overlap but would also gain a lot of support, IMHO.

Definitely Swiss. At least a major Type Set covering all denominations from 1850 to the end of the silver issues in 1967.

A date run of Francs would also gain a lot of support; at least from 1916 to 1967 (as a subset). Specimen strikes are also popular issues.

Of course, you couldn't do the above Swiss without the run of Shooting Talers from 1842 until 1939, inclusive.

Swiss.

1916 to 67 subset? That would leave out many beauties, such as a certain 1908 MS67, a 1900 MS66 and more..

If subsets will be created, I would rather propose a Seated Helvetia 1850-1861 and a Standing Helvetia 1875-1967 on the one franc.

I would be tempted to participate in such a set.

I meant to say 1914, not '16. Purely from an economic standpoint as most pre-1914s easily go mid 3-figs and even 4-figures.

British gold sovereign TYPE set from the seven mints It would contain about 28 to 30 pieces. I know of several people

besides myself that are putting it together. Victoria Wreathed Hd through George V Small Hd.

British Victorian Type Set, break it up however you want (gold, silver, copper, or all together; or different "head" types - whatever)

Thanks for asking, Boss

German and German States proofs (Prussia and Saxony primarily).

Romanian proof/specimen and MS coppers from 1867 (only date in series), both Watt & Heaton mints. It's basically a 1-year registry set. 4 denominations x 2 mints = 8 pieces x 2 series (specimen, business strike) = 16 coins total.

Steve27

British and French 20th century type sets, but you would have to get rid of your Collectors Club fee before I would participate.

I would do a Vicky type set, as well.

A type set from countries that are no long here.

- German Imperial minors (1pf-1Mk) type set would be a big hit

- Swiss type set, a definite must

- Perhaps a type set of post-unification German States, though finding the best, marketable way to do that and encourage broad participation might be difficult. It would draw some impressive sets though!

- France, Italy, Greece, Poland and Japan all offer strong markets in slabs. Though not as strong as British and German, I'm sure a type set could be devised for each to attract people.

I think the key to encourage broader participation is to make sets that include minors.

My oddball nominee for a type set registry would be milled Ottoman, take your pick of Turkish or Egyptian.

Start cleaning up and fixing some of the predeicmal British sets ... separate listings for Maundy sets and separate listings for silver vs brass 3d as examples. There are probably a few other fixes that would be nice to have, but for now these would be a good start.

As for British decimal sets, a separate sets for all 50p commems, a complete all inclusive set for 50p coins, change the brass ₤2 date set to a complete set as this requires adding two coins, a complete set for Bi-metallic ₤2 commems, and a complete ₤2 bi-metallic set.
