Home PCGS Set Registry Forum

some dumb questions about the registry.

I just listed my 1856 FE cent. heck I figured I couldn't get any lower than a few hundred at worst with that coin.

Now I do plan on buying the rest of them but want circulated ones to match the '56........I think will watch for all of them in EF40. (hint, if any of you see them)

I see on the page that it says......"this set is weighted".
what does that mean? that my '56 is worth more points than other coins or an 8/7 is worth more in points??

I added a pic too. Won't be on for 3 days it said.

thanks all.

    Go to the PCGS registry page and scroll down. You should see a section like "registry news" Inside it discusses the current weight of the FE collection and general registry news/announcements from PCGS.

  • John,

    First thing's first. Heritage has an 1858 in XF-40 in inventory.

    Now, there are 11 total weighted points in the set. The 56 counts for 5, the 57 and each of the 58's count for 1, and the 58/7 counts for 3. So, by registering the 56, your set is 5/11th's complete already. Take that fraction and multiply it by the grade of your 56 to get your current Set Points.

    So as you add the coins, the 58/7 will count more towards your set total than the easier to find ones will.
