PCGS CoinFacts Update

The 1786 "Bust Left" Vermont coppers comprise two Ryder varieties: RR-10 and RR-11. They are easily differentiated by the presence or absence of colons in their obverse and reverse legends.

PCGS Set Registry Update

The largest gold nugget ever discovered was named Welcome Stranger. It was found on February 5, 1869, by John Deason and Richard Oates in Moliagul, Victoria, Australia, and weighed an astonishing 71.5 kilograms! To the west of Victoria, Australia, lies Perth, where the Perth Mint is located. They struck the gold sovereign denomination over many decades for Great Britain. Perth also provides the majority of Australia's gold refining services, and it was the last colonial mint opened within the country. PCGS patrons collect modern commemorative issues struck in aluminum bronze at Perth. The 2020 $1 coin shown above is part of the 2020 Australian One Dollar Circulation Strikes Aluminum Bronze Perth Mint set that PCGS recently listed. Completing this set in high grades will be a challenge for many collectors, and we wish you the best of luck.

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!
