PCGS Registry Set Pedigree Service

llafoe

Am I reading the Pedigree service rules correctly? Anyone can get their Westward Journey set, 50-State set, SBA set, Sacagawea set Pedigreed if they're in the Top 5 (is that All Time or Current?), but my children can't get their $40,000 worth of mint/proof sets Pedigreed because they're mint/proof sets post-1965?

If you participate in the PCGS Set Registry 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.
PCGS does not pedigree modern Mint and Proof sets (1965-present), Everyman Collections or Low Ball sets.
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 $10 a coin. PCGS will not pedigree duplicate coins. You must submit both the upgraded coin and the coin it will be replacing. The coin that will no longer remain in your set will be reholdered without the pedigree and returned to you along with the newly pedigreed coin. Your set must remain 100% complete and in the top five to qualify.

The old rule was you only had to be 90% complete and in the top 5. But still, its the decisions is of PCGS, and not just because your 100% in the top 5....

I think PCGS should go back to the old requirement of 90% complete.

Even if I wanted to eventually have my set pedigreed, obtaining a Higley Copper, Immunis Columbia, AND a New York Excelsior will be quite a challenge!
