Redefining Numismatic Success with the PCGS Set Registry

Many coin collectors are completionists – their aim when building a set of coins is to complete that set. And many of these completionist coin collectors can usually reel off, like rote, the beginning and end dates for their series (singular or plural) of choice. A random Morgan Dollar collector will usually be able to quote the date of the first issue (1878), year of the last (1921), and can generally share some facts about the many keys, scarce dates, and other notables – like the plethora of varieties generally categorized as VAMs.

But what if the rules on the Morgan Dollar were rewritten? What if instead of collecting Morgan Dollars just one way – a basic date run of circulation-strike issues – what if there were, say, four dozen or more different ways to build a complete set of Morgan Dollars? The PCGS Set Registry opens up avenues of possibilities and new horizons for collectors that many couldn’t have even imagined.

You could literally complete Morgan Dollar sets 48 different ways (or more, as more PCGS Set Registry categories open) and even vie for prizes, awards, and recognition for those sets. Because with PCGS Set Registry, you not only have the option of building and completing sets in traditional arrangements, such as start date to finish date, but you can also build short sets, sets of just proofs or varieties, and many other potential combinations, permutations, and situations.

Sure, you could build the tried-and-true Morgan Dollars Basic Set, Circulation Strikes (1878-1921)... But what about working on a Morgan Dollars Prooflike Only Date Set, Circulation Strikes (1878-1921)? Or going for something a little more off the beaten path, like the Morgan Dollars Long Arrow Shaft VAM Set, Circulation Strikes (1878)?

No longer are the rules of a “complete” set defined only by one way of collecting coins. With PCGS Set Registry, the possibilities are virtually limitless!
