CoinFacts Narrative Update

In 1999, the U.S. Mint made a drastic mistake by producing the first Mint State $5 and $10 Gold Eagles bearing a "W" mint mark. In 1999, only Proof Gold Eagles were intended to bear the "W" mint mark. This mistake has left us with a lot of puzzling unanswered questions about the production and existence of the 1999-W $5 and $10 Mint State coins. Read more.

PCGS Set Registry Update

Queen Victoria ruled England for a little over 63 years. She passed away on January 22, 1901, and King Edward VII was crowned on the same day. Prior to Edward becoming the king of England, he was credited with encouraging Queen Victoria to make public appearances, effectively marketing the royal family more to the people. Edward was also known throughout Europe as a statesman. He was dubbed "The Uncle of Europe," focusing his interests in military, naval, and diplomatic endeavors. King Edward reigned from 1902 through 1910, and the coins bearing his likeness during his reign were struck in a low relief. This made heavily circulated coins undesirable to many collectors. PCGS recently listed the set British Edward VII Half-Sovereign, Circulation Strikes and Proof (1902-1910), which will be challenging for collectors to complete.

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, all the best in building your sets, and Happy Collecting, folks!
