PCGS CoinFacts Update

The New Orleans Mint's 50-plus years of coinage operations began with a small batch of 1838-O Liberty Seated Dimes.

PCGS Set Registry Update

The Royal Mint of Australia was established in Canberra in 1965 and produces many collector products. Proof sets have been issued since 1966, and the standard proof set currently includes six coins: 5 cents, 10 cents, 20 cents, 50 cents, one dollar, and two dollars. A .999-fine silver version has been released over the last few years, and this annually produced coin features a portrait of King Charles III. The Royal Mint of Australia is celebrating its 60th anniversary with the 10 cents and 50 cents coins carrying different reverses. The beuatiful 50 cents coin shown above is part of the 2026 Australian Silver Proof Set for collectors to consider building.
