Question on Registry Sets

Phoenix

I understand them about halfway. Could someone explain how it really works? Thanks.

Phoenix,

No explanation, just an analogy (from the male perspective) ...

... in our teens it was stereos, then in our late teens/early 20's it was cars and girls. In the late 20's/early 30's it was the American dream (house, white fence, 2.2 children). in our late 30's/early 40's, just call us Slabby Joe's ...

Sorry for dodging your question, if nobody else provides a satisfactory explanation, I will be back tomorrow night (a little more serious).

I'll attempt the Reader's Digest Version.

Almost any coin certified by PCGS can be listed in a set. For example if you collect Lincoln cents and have several certified by PCGS you can create a registy and type in the coins certification number. Once PCGS verifies the cert number it will be listed in your collection. The certification number also provides the information on Red/Red-brown/Brown color and other strike qualifiers (FS, FB, FH etc...).


So you have entered your coins and PCGS verifies the coins then what. Based on your level of completion your set is then ranked relative to the other listed sets. Ranking depends on a coins weight (rare coins are worth more, not all sets are weighted but they probably will), grade, color, finish (i.e. Cam and DCAM) and strike (FH, FS etc..).

So you have now been ranked and you can see where your set stands relative to other collectors.

Would all the coins have to be in the same grade? Like would all the lincs be in MS67 or could some be in MS68 MS65 etc.? Thanks for the info.

Phoenix:

Best way to figure this out is to click on the set registry link. Read the rules and look at the sets in the series you are interested in.
