[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1153347, member: 15929"]Why on earth would you want to "subscribe" if you have no coins to get graded? The ONLY thing you get by joining the Collectors Club at $49.95 a year is access to the online Population Reports. You'd be MUCH better off in buying a PCGS Graded coin and opening a PCGS Registry Set which would then give you access to uptodate Population reports for free. Examples: Buy the cheapest PCGS graded Lincoln cent you can find then open a Lincoln Cents Complete Variety Set, Circulation Strikes (1909-Present). All the Lincoln Populations become available to you (Including CPG Varieties) for free. Buy the cheapest of ANY PCGS Graded coin and you can use that coin to open ANY Set it will fit into (Including Complete Type Sets folks) and ALL those population become immediately available to you. The PCGS Set Registry is FREE with the only requirement being that you own a PCGS Certified coin. ANY U.S. coin can go into a Complete Type Set thereby giving you access to those population reports. BTW, the Online Population report is updated every Sunday morning with the previous weeks grades. The Registry Populations are updated AS THE COINS BECOME AVAILABLE for shipping. Usually within 2 days of grading woth no waiting until Sunday to see the populations using the Set Registry WHAT IF Function.
