[QUOTE="Ken_3567, post: 207071, member: 8237"]Ugaman72, I apologize for not answering your question earlier. The WGC is not actually a catalog number but Whitman's approximate market value for that particular type coin so if you see a WGC type 396 then it's Whitman's best guess that you can get a type of that coin series for $396. If you pick up the latest edition of the Red Book Price guide you will see a type set table w/values for each condition at the beginning of each coin series and this in effect is the same thing as your "WCG Type #" Just a word of warning, this price is just a base and it's questionable as to how dependable it is since: 1.) based on older red book prices, and 2.) It's based on cumulative/availability and not individual years. The only thing I can't remember is what grade they use for each coin. If you have any other questions in regards to type set collecting feel free to e-mail me or leave a message on my website that you had kind words for earlier. Best of Luck, Ken[/QUOTE]
