What s the PCGS Profile Collection?

GRANDAM · January 12, 2015 10:26AM

I saw a 2013-D 5 Star General Half Dollar labeled as "Profile Collection"

I googled it and didn't find anything on it. Anyone know exactly what it means? What other coins are in "The Profile Collection"?

Link to completed auction with said coin

Thanks, GrandAm

Sounds like the name Arnold gave his set.

I believe any person can name their collection and have PCGS put that name on the label.

My first thought was that is was a pedigree to someone's set but it has a different coin number that other halfs that same date and a POP of 189 pcs between MS69 & MS70 so I don't think it is a Pedigree, must be just a special label of some kind?

PCGS calls a collection complete when all coins available are in the set. There are coins in my collection that are not available but listed in the set and yet they call it complete even tho there are about 10 or 11 coins not in the set. I don't know why they put the coins in that are unique or impossible to get as there is only one available anywhere and not in anybody's set. Roosevelt dimes 1946 to present with all variety's.

I believe this coin sold under market tonight as the "regular" coin usually fetches $500++. The Heritage coin is from the limited mintage sub 11,000 special mint offering. I have one on ebay if you want to read a little more about the special product. Wondercoin.

Yes, I was a bidder on the MS70 Half and was high bidder until the live auction where it sold for about 2x my bid.

GrandAm

Update, it was only 1.5x my MAX bid.

Grandam. The last MS70 half just went best offer $1,100 on ebay. The three before those were each $500+ best I can see. Hence, my comment about the "premium label" coin going cheap.

As always, just my two cents. Wondercoin.

What s the PCGS Profile Collection?
