Quote from: 'r9453' pid='107292' dateline='1490895699'The 1956Y w/ Melbourne obverse has made it into the penny set:

The number of coins required to complete the set is now back up to 95. It was 94 for a little while after one of the 1925 varieties was removed.

Strange, with the 1955Y Perth at a 3.00, surely the 56Y would be a 2.00.
It's good though, my one automatically moved into the right slot.

How is that? They didn't move the '52 date variety pennies that had already been slabbed from the standard position when that variety was recognised and they didn't move the '53 large denticle florins in '53 slabs to the correct category when that variety was recognised.

Has it got something to do with the coin numbers? If you have a coin that was slabbed before a particular variety was recognised you would need to send it back and get the new/correct "PCGS No". I assume this would also apply if the coin was not correctly attributed when they slabbed it in the first place.

One point deducted for incorrect spelling of Melborne :biggrin:

Its not like its a Anglo/Aussie thing that the yanks just don't get it. There is a city in Florida with a population of 77k called Melbourne.

Lots has happened over the past year or so, with nearly all major varieties now included in the penny set registry, except for the 1930 London obverse. Only two examples known of this type, so unrealistic to include it IMO.

PCGS last week added the 1957Y. wide date penny with reverse G as a requirement for the registry sets, and to my knowledge this was the last remaining major variety among the pennies to be outstanding.

Have just noticed that PCGS have now added basic sets to the Penny and Florin Set Registries, a good move IMO. The weird thing is, for the penny sets they included the mint mark coins ie H - Y. - K.G - A. - I and PL for all the relative years, but left out the various dot combinations for 1919 and 1920. Surely these dots are mint marks as well, or am I missing something?

Thats good news about the two penny sets.
