[QUOTE="illini420, post: 736427, member: 19423"];) I've seen most of the PCGS grading set in person since they regularly display it at the Long Beach shows. Pretty cool to see all of the different series. It's important to note that to my knowledge none of their grading sets used are all of the same date/mintmark but instead contain various dates. Not that big of a deal for some series, but for some of them striking differences on certain dates may be of great significance in the appearance of the coin compared to another of a different date in the same grade. For example, the 1908-S Indian has notoriously weak feather tips in the headdress. Very very rare to find a fully struck example with detail in the feathertips even in high grades such as MS65RD or MS66RD while other dates of indian cents even have clean feathers in circulated grades. My 1908-S MS63RD has about the best struck feathers I've ever seen on a 1908-S in any grade and they aren't even that sharp. Will be nice to see the PCGS sets though. I just hope they don't start charging to view them like they have done with their CoinFacts resource.[/QUOTE]
