CoinFacts Narrative Update

The 2016-W Standing Liberty Gold Quarter originally went on sale September 8, 2016. The coins were well received by collectors, dealers, and the general public. In the secondary market, there were a few dealers trying to buy these coins in large quantities, even offering premiums ranging from about $50 to $100 over the U.S. Mint issue price per coin. However, on September 21, 2016, the U.S. Mint raised the household ordering limit from one coin per household to an unlimited ordering limit per household.   Read more.

PCGS Set Registry Update

The PCGS Set Registry was created more than 20 years ago for our members. In the beginning, only sets from the United States were listed; soon it grew into listings from all over the world. One of those countries that was added to the PCGS Set Registry was the Philippines. This nation consists of groups of islands that were colonized by the Spanish. In 1898, the Philippines were under the control of the United States. The first coins authorized by this new government were struck in 1903. Coinage from this era can be difficult to find in Mint State grades, and not everyone has a budget for uncirculated examples. PCGS is proud to include the Philippines among the growing catalog of Everyman Collections, which cap the highest grade at AU58. The 1904 Peso Crown shown above is part of the PCGS Set Registry listing titled Philippines Everyman One Peso, Circulation Strikes (1903-1936).

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!
