PCGS Set Registry will Honor Collectors who Have Achieved Numismatic Excellence

Dear Set Registry Members,

This year will mark the 10th year that the PCGS Set Registry will honor collectors who have achieved numismatic excellence. Established in 2001, the PCGS Set Registry is home to some of the finest coin collections in the world. It has provided a platform for thousands of collectors to organize inventory, build sets, and make contact with others who share the same passion. With this in mind, we are looking forward to another amazing awards season.

The deadline for adding and updating your sets is Friday, June 29, 2012, 5pm EST/2pm PST. All sets will be judged the first week in July based on their status at the deadline. Judges will include numismatic experts from PCGS and the PCGS Numismatic Advisory Board. Winners will be announced in July.

To be a contender, your set must be ranked number one with at a least 90% completion, or in the case of large set compositions, those sets with 200 or more coins registered in one set are also contenders. Note that the completion requirement may be waived when the judges review sets which contain especially rare coins. As a reminder, you must own and have possession of any coin you list in your set. In addition, your set must be published.
