    Sharp knife?
    Or, you can be the designer...that gets the initials.

    edit for typo

    Spend enough on slabbing fees to get your collection in the registry set hall of fame, and soon you can see your name on the slab inserts in your collection. PCGS seems to do this, and I suspect that a couple of bottom-feeder services will do also this for less in slabbing fees.

    Perhaps I misread the title of this subject. PCGS and others will only put your name on the slab insert, not the coin itself.

    I'm reminded of the wealthy New York socialite Florence Foster Jenkins (Google her) who paid for a Carnegie Hall recital and recodings of opera arias with horrendous intonation but able accompaniment by her pianist, Cosme McMoon. Ms. Jenkins had her name on the record itself, not just the sleeve and the program notes.

    there is a private silver mint in Idaho that will put whatever you want on a coin (if you want to call it a coin)


    picture, name, favorite slogan....

    I think there is something like a $10K minimum with setup for 1000 silver 1 oz coins

    Take over a small third world nation, install yourself as king and you too can be on coinage.
