The Collectibles Display booth will feature two award-winning sets from the PCGS Set Registry: the “Fireball Rainbow” Lincoln collection and the Legend Collection of Liberty Seated Dollars.
“Both of these acclaimed sets are visually stunning and truly unique,” said East. “The ‘Fireball Lincoln’ collection is a vibrant display of naturally-toned Lincoln Cents that recently won the Best Digital Album of 2016 honors for the PCGS Set Registry.”
“The other set on display, the Legend Collection of Liberty Seated Dollars, is a pedigreed set that contains various coins that are the finest example known, and is a Set Registry Hall of Fame collection since 2004.”
This set of rainbow-like Lincoln Cents will be on display at the Long Beach Expo.
