    PCGS Set Registry Update

    The beauty of nature surrounds us in our lives and at times shows up on the coins that we collect. Take, for example, the holographic or "prizma" coin technology featured above from the country of Togo. Each coin in the following set titled Togo Prismatic Wildlife Set 100 Francs, Proof (2010-2011) had a mintage of 2,500 pieces. The obverse exhibits elegant contrast from the fields and relief, which is pleasant to view with vibrant colors. The reverse relief, appearing in frosted cameo contrast, displays lions holding a bow and arrow; one flanked on the left and the other to the right side of the reverse. A phrase is also written in French, "Travail, Liberte, Patrie," which in English translates to "Work, Freedom, Fatherland"; the inscription is located above the country's flag. The PCGS Set Registry continues to add new offerings for almost any member to consider pursuing and provides specialty sets for advanced collectors to build. We are grateful for your continued support, best of luck building your sets, and Happy Collecting, folks!
