Gallery Mint Concept Dollar Token Varieties

CDBPDX

I see that several 2000 dated Liberty Head concept dollar 'tokens' produced by the Gallery mint in 1997-1998 have been graded, PCGS coin inventory ID 600247 (Example: 600247.68/37130837). There doesn't seem to be mention whether this is the regular thickness or the piedfort thickness piece. They are 2 distinctly different tokens, the piedfort mintage was stated as 2500 pieces while the regular thickness (thin planchet) mintage was under 25. Which variety does the inventory number 600247 represent? Or is there another number for that?

Example: 600247.68/37130837

Would it be possible to have a thin planchet variety certified?

Thanks! Cliff

Pcgs will not make a note of thick or thin planchette as far as I know. They won’t even state
Copper or brass on the 200 Liberty standing. Hence no other designation other than the few they
Have in their data base.

I submitted 3 gold half eagles and just received graded as “counterfeiters.
But the are in the book of unusually tokens. I put in an email to someone there to see if this can be changed.
But, haven’t heard back yet.
So as to your question, under standard submission I would say they make no such designation.
If paid for and asked on submission and referenced to any published material they MIGHT.

I was trying to get my Ana, pcs and CSNA medals graded first then touch back on a very long subject
Of what can or cannot be graded d off gallery mint.

Here’s a link to my registry some are piedifrts. They also won’t seperate 11 rays for 13 ray as the 1 are much more valuable. .
Also if you notice the three standing liberty’s are copper(not designated) and have a let A, B, C on the pedestal
To show there are test strikes. I sent it the letter from Ron Landis explaining but……to no avail.
