Free Submissions. We recognize that not every coin in every important collection has been graded by PCGS. In order to encourage participation in the PCGS Set Registry program we are offering the following free grading benefits for sets that reach 90% completion:

If the set composition is 1-9 coins you are entitled to 1 free grading.
If the set composition is 10-24 coins you are entitled to 2 free gradings.
If the set composition is 25-49 coins you are entitled to 3 free gradings.
If the set composition is 50-99 coins you are entitled to 4 free gradings.
If the set composition is 100+ coins you are entitled to 5 free gradings.
Free submissions are for coins within the set that has reached 90% completion. You should request your free submissions with the intent to either add or upgrade your set with the coins that are being graded for free. You cannot submit the same coin twice for free grades. All coins must be submitted at one time.

If your set has reached 90% complete and you have not previously received free grading for this set, please contact setregistry@collectors.com with your name, address and phone number. You will be sent, by U.S. mail, a submission form to be used exclusively for your free gradings. If you wish to send coins in for different service levels, i.e. crossover, regrade, raw, etc., please inform us when you request your submission form as separate submission forms are required for different types of services.

Due to the amount of time it takes the PCGS graders to attribute varieties, the free submission benefits are for grading only, not variety attribution. If you wish to use the variety attribution service as well, please include payment for this service with your submission. It is your responsibility to pay for postage and insurance.

And they really do give them out, and they get done FAST. I've had about 16 freebies done in the last two months, and each order typically took about 10 calendar days. Plus they waive the $8 processing fee!

I think we have mentioned before that you can get the free gradings for sub sets too.
If the series your working on has a date set, Basic set, and a with varities sets you can get some extra gradings. By submitting coins as you get each set to 90%.

Kewl! What was I waiting for? Thanks all!

Sometimes a collector reaches 90% completion, but has no raw coins worthy of grading. You can still take advantage of this great benefit. You can replace the grading option with the reholder or regrade option. What a great way to replace broken/cracked slabs, or to submit a PCGS slab that you feel is worthy of a higher grade. I submitted 5 Lincolns for regrading basically because the slabs were chipped, and my ms65rd 1951 actually regraded ms66rd.

The free grading services are a reason to consider also registering into subsets. I managed to get a free grade on a Morgan dollar short set just by having five coins. The only coins eligible for the submission that I had were the coins themselves, so I sent one in for a regrade. It graded the same, but it cost nothing but postage to send in. Though I downsized my Morgans since then to bring in funds for a big purchase, it's something I may do again some time, building a fresh subset with better coins.
