Has PCGS ever thought of minting a coin for it's members?

Several coin clubs, numismatic organizations, and numismatic magazines have minted coins for their members. I also know Whitman Publishing, who publishes the redbook, has made coins as well.

I think it would be really cool if PCGS minted a member coin. Silver is too expensive, I think bronze would look cool.

What would be even cooler? If PCGS slabbed it as well, and had a pedigree with "collector club member".

Given away with every membership, it would ensure any member has at least one coin slabbed by PCGS.

Now, I have seen some ASE's that have the Pedigree stated above, but how did members acquire them, or were they given out as awards for registries?

Also, if you would be interested in one, say "I would like one as well". Maybe if we get PCGS's attention, they might look into it.

    They have Collectors Club slabs for those who attend the luncheons. I do not see PCGS creating trinkets, nor would I want any.

    If it's the slabs I'm thinking about, those ASEs used to be given out to new members with a paid membership (gold or platinum tier) along with 4 or 8 free gradings respectively. I remember getting a 2004-dated ASE in 2004 when I joined that year; I've never seen one since.

    They grade coins, not make them.

    My intention isn't to be rude, but perhaps if you spent as much time networking, calling managers, browsing through career resource centers, etc. as much as you do asking "what if" questions on this Forum, perhaps you'd have a job by now.

    I don't think that PCGS is allowed to mint coins.

  • I think the calendar is way far better than a coin. You get one very year and has fantastic coin pictures.

    the CC slabs are bad enough, coins would be sort of tacky. several years ago some shirt pins were made, try to find one of those.
