CoinFacts Narrative Update

The 1907 High Relief Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle was not as practical to strike as it is beautiful to behold. The high relief of the striding figure of Miss Liberty and the flying eagle made the coin impossible to stack properly and thus unsuitable for mass-scale commercial purposes.

PCGS Set Registry Update

Spring brings the melodious sounds of chirping birds, bees buzzing flowers, and blooming buttercups. So many of us look forward to pleasant springtime weather, and it's also the season when Spring Fairies arrive. They are known to use their magical powers during the day to brighten the landscape. They float with the butterflies to wake up flowers, heal injured insects, and help birds build their nests. Maybe if you’re lucky enough, you’ll spot the Spring Fairy, as shown on the 2024 $2 coin shown above that was struck by the Australian Mint. When the day is over, nighttime begins, the Spring Fairy turns into the Tooth Fairy, and she delivers coins to all the kids that have put their teeth under their pillows. She is busier than a bee! PCGS Set Registry has recently listed the Australian Two Dollars Tooth Fairy Folklore Set, Circulation Strikes (2020-present) for collectors to consider building.

Additional sets from various countries have been added, so please feel free to browse the PCGS Set Registry when you have a chance and you may find there is a set for almost anyone to build. The PCGS Set Registry offers many different sets from all over the world and specialty sets for advanced collectors. We appreciate your continued patronage!
