Title: searching PCGS populations
Post by: nealeffendi on October 23, 2013, 02:49:12 PM
I know that when you have the specific number of a slab that you can look at the particular coins image.
But what about looking for coins where you don't know the slab number?
For example can I look at all the slabbed pre decimal pennies that PCGS has slabbed?
TIA

Australian population report (http://www.pcgs.com/pop/default.aspx?t=9).

You can also look at registry sets and if someone has so kindly let you see their coin you can see it's information.
Set Registry (http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/Composite.aspx?c=2278)

Like markn's set here.

I'd have thought that wouldn't be possible as PCGS do not have pictures of most of the coins they have graded.

Obviously you can only get photos where they're available (either from PCGS or if I've handled the coins before they'll have photos too), the Blue Sheet feature in question allows the listing of PCGS certifications by the coin type.

Thanks Walter. That makes more sense.
Just one question - Is the listing of PCGS certifications by cointype complete (i.e. all those in the PCGS database) or is it only coins that you know of (i.e. those in your database)?

It's specific to our database, they all eventually enter the database (our system looks up certificates one by one in numerical order) but at the moment there is a delay of about 6 months before  they enter the database unless someone looks up the coin earlier.
