<p>[QUOTE="NorCalJack, post: 2234915, member: 71828"]Well I have a PCGS registry set for Washington Quarters. So you can go to PCGS and register and start a set. For one of my Quarter sets, there is a basic set, for all dates and mint marks from 1932 to 1964. Each coin has a weighted scale from 1 to 10. So the 1932-D is the most valuable and expensive, so it is given a value of 10. A 1957-P is very common and has a value of 1. So if you have a 1932-D in grade 62, it is assigned a value of 62 x 10 = 620 points. And a 1957-P in grade MS-62 is assigned a value of 62 x 1 = 62 points. Who ever has registered their set is ranked from the top set to the last set based upon points. For my Washington Quarter set I am ranked 88th and I have completed 46.99% of the entire set. My average grade for the coins I have is 65.15</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a link to the list of all the sets that are registered, if you go down the list to No. 88, you will see the NorCalJack set, click on that name and it will take you to a full listing of my set.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/publishedfinest.aspx?c=77" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/publishedfinest.aspx?c=77" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/publishedfinest.aspx?c=77</a></p><p><br /></p><p>All the coins listed in the PCGS sets need to be graded by PCGS or you can not add them to your set.

[url]http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/publishedfinest.aspx?c=77[/url] All the coins listed in the PCGS sets need to be graded by PCGS or you can not add them to your set. At the top of the list is a link titled "View Set Composition". If you click on that link it will tell you the value of each coin for that set. There are literally thousands of sets that you can register for and keep track of you collection. I know that registry sets are not for everyone, but for me I enjoy tracking my coins and seeing progress being made and I can access my set from anywhere I have an internet connection.
