<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 3127554, member: 10461&quot;]I <i>believe</i> the top-ranked collections in some of the major sets in the PCGS and NGC Registry programs are eligible for pedigreed labels.&nbsp; I know this was the case in the past with PCGS.&nbsp; One of my gold PCGS Registry type sets even (briefly) qualified for a pedigree, but I ended up selling the coins without taking advantage of that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder if the pedigree would have had to be my real-world last name, or if they would have put &quot;Lord Marcovan&quot; on the label?&nbsp; Would have been fun to find out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Guess I&#039;ll never know now.&nbsp; Haven&#039;t been on the PCGS Registry in forever.</p><p><br /></p><p>My basic gold type set wasn&#039;t #1.&nbsp; I think you had to be in the top ten to qualify for the pedigree.&nbsp; I was at #9 or #10, as I recall.&nbsp; Mind you, this was 15 years ago, in the relatively early days of the PCGS Registry.&nbsp; Nowadays the same set I built would probably come in around #50 or so, and I couldn&#039;t afford to build it anyway.&nbsp; Times change.&nbsp; Bullion is certainly a different story from what it was 15 years ago!</p><p><br /></p><p>I clearly remember buying a PCGS MS63 OGH 1908 No Motto Saint for that set.&nbsp; 400 bucks ... delivered.&nbsp; Wow.&nbsp; Doesn&#039;t seem that long ago.&nbsp; Wish I&#039;d held onto those coins, obviously.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to straight out <i>buying</i> a private pedigree, I don&#039;t know if you can do that or not.&nbsp; If the TPGs have any respect for their brands, I would think they would require some kind of notability, like a historical provenance, or at least the coin being in one of the top Registry sets.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did get PCGS to put a pedigree on the label of a coin I submitted recently.&nbsp; But that had everything to do with the coin&#039;s <a href="https://www.pcgs.com/cert/35075112" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/cert/35075112" rel="nofollow">hoard provenance</a>, and nothing to do with me personally.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
