(Newport Beach, California) – The Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS)
announced today that PCGS World Coin Population ReportsSM
would be offered free
of charge to all visitors to the PCGS website at http://www.pcgs.com/pop/WorldCoins.aspx?c=1660.
PCGS began offering electronic population data for world coins in November 2006
as part of a paid subscription to the PCGS Population ReportSM
. Previously, world
coin collectors were unable to obtain this valuable information in any form, printed
or otherwise.
“PCGS is pleased to offer world coin collectors an opportunity to easily
view population data for world coins, allowing them to determine relative rarity,
to learn which coins are available at various grade levels, and to assist them
in developing a condition census for the coins they collect,” said PCGS
President, Ron Guth. “This information will have a dramatic effect on pricing
for world coins and will fuel enthusiasm for the various Set Registries PCGS has
in place (and planned) for the most popular countries.”
The market for world coins is expanding rapidly, particularly in countries with
strong economies and rising disposable incomes. According to Guth, “Most
people have a strong desire to collect the coins of their own country. PCGS certification
helps the collector by guaranteeing authenticity and quality. The same model that
has been so successful in the U.S. is just as successful in other countries and
is already being warmly embraced in Canada, Great Britain, Germany, Switzerland,
Mexico, China, and Japan.”
PCGS is a division of Collectors Universe, Inc. (NASADAQ: CLCT). For information
on submitting coins for certification, visit www.pcgs.com
or call PCGS Customer Service at 1-800-447-8848.
