Seafoam Green. Sounds delightful. I have been working on a master bedroom makeover for about a month now. I do the work because I like to paint and move heavy furniture. The carpet was installed last Thursday. I was SURPRISED! when the whole house got new carpet! Hmmm? The Lovely Mrs. Hydrant was shocked too. Yea, right. Anyway, The Lovely One has settled on "Whispering Pines" for the paint job. It has to be a light shade of green.Wait till she sees SEAFOAM GREEN!!!! .......I just take orders.....that works out best.
P.S. The blue painters tape is way superior to anything else. It costs more but it's worth it. And....off to Home Depot at 6 a.m. tomorrow. Beat the crowd!!!!!!!

RUSS!!!! I so miss him. He started that statement.
I have the older PCGS green boxes...I prefer the deep green color. Cheers, RickO
Anyone know who the people in this photo are? Are they Forum members. Was it created for the Forum or just pulled from the internet? I have always wondered about that. The guy on the far right with the “pichers” sign looks like he was just liberated from a WW2 POW camp.
tough to say. i've seen it used in other ways across the net. the original may be lost to the annals of history....
The $100 PCGS box.
ah, it was worth the wait
Got mine as well along with a few coins I had a trueview/reholder on. I really like the retro labels! The PCGS box has some rub, maybe AU55?
or it is partial clad obv. hard to tell from this angle.
Yes, these were some forum member dealers in their younger days out protesting the lack of mustard at the McDonalds behind them. They dressed this way at coin shows also.

Got one yesterday, I actually like the color, add to my list of other colors over the years
My coins came back in a black one..
Better than the white cardboard one I suppose.

Congrats on 35 years, PCGS.
Will keep this one as a collectible. 😘
I would have preferred the Quarterly special from January-March (which is why I sent them in) instead of the one for April-June.
While supplies last. Are they out already?
If it was a special that had to be specified on the submission then that's where I was mistaken. I wasn't sure if it was an "every submission over 5 coins gets one" thing or not. My coins got there a day or two before the box was announced so I wasn't expecting it to begin with.

My guess is that the mint box is going to have a much higher population than the orange box since the 35th anniversary could be a full year celebration.
Thoughts?
Fascinating
