<p>[QUOTE="calcol, post: 2954019, member: 77639"]As you may be aware, the important factors for ranking sets in the PCGS registry are the weighted GPA (grade point average) and completeness of the set. Each coin is given a weight from 1 to 10 with the highest weights going to the rarest and most valuable coins. The grade of the coin is multiplied by the weight; then the sum of (weight x grade) is divided by the sum of the weights to obtain the weighted GPA. In some cases, bonuses or deductions are applied to the grade before weighting. To account for completeness or lack thereof, the sum of (weight x grade) is divided by the maximum possible sum of weights to obtain the set scores. Set scores are used for ranking sets.</p><p><br /></p><p>The registry lists the grade of each coin, the weighted GPA of the whole set and the set score. However, I have been unable to find a list of the weights for each type of set. I've searched the PCGS website and elsewhere without success.
