It's Fun! It's Easy! It's FREE!

The FREE, interactive PCGS Set Registry^SM program has revolutionized coin collecting around the world. Established in 2001, the PCGS Set Registry now hosts nearly 40,000 sets. In addition to every major U.S. coin series, it offers categories for Australian, British, Canadian, Mexican, Costa Rican, Chinese, Euro, German, Japanese, Philippine and South African coins, with more to come.

Home to the world’s finest coin collections, the PCGS Set Registry gives collectors the opportunity to safely show off their PCGS-graded coins in a secure online environment, and compare their collections to some of the greatest ever assembled. You can start with just one coin and build your set over time, or add an entire collection. You can post images of your coins, view those of other collectors in your area of interest, and go from there!

To begin, just sign up here. There is no software to download, and everything you do is done securely over the Internet. The PCGS Set Registry is exclusively for PCGS-graded coins, so you will need the certification numbers of the items you intend to register.  (For more information about how to get your coins certified, click here.)

Once you have added your coins, you are ready to begin building sets based on your inventory. You will find step-by-step instructions to help you build your first set.

You can remain completely anonymous in the PCGS Set Registry if you so choose. You can name your sets how you wish, and you can elect to keep your set closed from public view until you are ready to unveil your collection.

The PCGS Set Registry enables you to track your inventory, market price, costs and populations, build and update sets, enjoy friendly competition, meet other collectors who share common interests, create a photo album of your collection, and share your sets with others. In addition, you can perform “What If?” scenarios to see how the addition of new items will change your set ratings.

Sets listed in the PCGS Set Registry as “Current” are active sets and are ranked in order of grade point average, percentage of completion and rating. The Registry is highly interactive and sets are continually being added and upgraded. Sets listed in the “All-Time Finest” area may include retired sets that were complete at one time, but have since been dispersed. These are some of the finest collections ever assembled and provide benchmarks to which you can compare your own collection.

As if the fun you’ll have participating in the PCGS Set Registry were not enough, you will also receive other important benefits:

• Recognition for your collection. If your set is in the top five “All-Time Finest,” your collection (and if you desire, your name) will be listed in the PCGS Set Registry at the top of the list of all sets in that category.

• Free submissions. We recognize that not every coin in every important collection has been graded by PCGS. To encourage participation in the PCGS Set Registry program, we offer free grading submissions to registrants. Depending on the size of your collection, you can receive up to five free submissions.

• A valuable pedigree. In the rare coin market, a pedigree is a contributing factor in the pride of ownership and value of a coin. Coins from famous collections such as Eliasberg, Norweb and Garrett usually command a premium in the marketplace. If you participate in the PCGS Set Registry program and your set ranks in the top five, it may qualify for the free pedigree service.

PCGS Set Registry Awards

Annually, some of the “All -Time Finest” collections ever assembled are inducted into the PCGS Set Registry^SM Hall of Fame. The criteria for entry into the HOF include set popularity, difficulty, grade average, completion percentage, domination, and degree of competition within the set category.

Major awards are presented to the best sets in the following divisions. Winners receive an engraved plaque and an award icon by his or her set listing in the Registry.

• Best Classic Sets: 1792-1964
• Best Modern Sets: 1950 to date (including Jefferson nickels and Roosevelt dimes)
• Best New Sets
• Best Colonials, Private Issues and Territorial Gold and Pattern Sets
• Best World Coin Sets
• Best Exhibited Sets

In addition, the registrant with the Number One ranked set that is at least 85% complete in each category will be recognized with a “Best of the Registry” certificate and an award icon by his or her set listing in the Registry.
