PCGS at the ANA
By Don Willis
We are just a few days away from the numismatic event of the year. The summer ANA show is tops and a must attend event for all serious numismatists. I know of several collectors who plan their summer vacation around the ANA! You will have a chance to bid on several thousand coins offered in the Stacks-Bowers and Heritage auctions. The bourse floor will be packed with hundreds of dealers offering everything under the sun. If it's round and shiny and you collect it, you can probably find it at the ANA. If you have something to sell or buy the ANA is the place to be. All of us at PCGS look forward to seeing you there.
Please let us know how you are enjoying the PCGS eCollector.

75th Anniversary Silver Eagles
As this is written word is trickling in that some of these sets have already been shipped by the Mint. With an overall mintage approximately the same as last year's 25th Anniversary sets it will be interesting to see how the after market behaves. If you are considering having you coins graded you should know that PCGS has developed special labels for this set as well as special submission programs.

PCGS ValueView™
One of the coolest developments to come out of PCGS' crack IT team is ValueView. ValueView is part of PCGS Coinfacts and is available for free to all subscribers. ValueView is exciting in that it is focused on a particular coin in a particular grade and displays everything you need to know about that coin on one easy to read page. ValueView presents coin/grade specific data including PCGS population and Price Guide as well as the last five auction appearances in both PCGS and NGC holders. Click on an auction appearance and you will see a photo of that coin (if available) and will be taken to the actual lot listing. ValueView is amazing and a must have for anyone buying and selling coins. For more information on ValueView go to
