Is there any significance other than David Hall's signature?

They were minted to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of PCGS.

....but I don't have the feel for this particular coin to be honest with you just because of the typical corporate design :/
Do you have one and what you think about it? Is it made of silver?
It is worth keeping it as a novelty item?

    Very timely. Thanks for sharing. The Steve Jobs/David Hall analogy becomes even more poignant.

    No, but I've thought about getting one. It is limited to 500 after all.

    Is it made of silver?

    No.

    You'd need to decide that for yourself.

    Hello Paradise Found !

    Such a generous giveaway ! Are you an Heiress to some Pineapple Fortune out there in Paradise? I'm really wondering how you can afford to be giving away so many things all the time? I guess you're just a giving person. I think maybe if we were all a bit more giving maybe we'd attract a few new people into the Coin Collecting Hobby? That might actually be a good thing but maybe if we could somehow recreate the booming economy we once had maybe things might more easily fall into place.

    OK. Guess I have my new assignment for today. How do I help create a more booming economy that will put more wealth into the hands that need it the most? Not exactly an easy topic to ponder.

    Excuse me while I try to get serious for a little while. 😘🤑😓

    These are interesting, limited to just 500? Wow. Has a feel of a token. Ride the bus token. But having David's autograph is very cool.

    There is a silver version that was given to select PCGS Dealers,,,,,, the original ones I believe. The rest are plated.

    I received one of these "dealer version medals", not a signed label, and thought that they were pretty neat. I don't think that they were silver...plated maybe. @GRANDAM, on the dealers version that you referred to, have the labels identified as being silver?

    I don't know what the labels say,,,,,, never seen one. I just read somewhere there is a .999 Silver Version.

    This is not the 1 of 500 signed label. A different one completely.

    I am not referring to the “Authorized Dealer” Label,,,, this was for the original 7 dealers.

    It is all based on price. For the right price I'd love to have one of those - part of numismatic history. For the wrong price, I'd pass and buy some other numismatics.

    A total of 5,000 medals were made, 2,500 reserved for collectors in the United States and the remaining 2,500 set aside for overseas. They are 40 millimeters in diameter, weigh 27 grams and are .999 silver plated over bronze. From what I have heard there were 32 made in Silver for founding members/original authorized dealers of PCGS. Here are images of the different labels used and of the Silver.



    This one is Exclusive for China, noted on the label. The slab also has a gold stamp lower left that says Bank

    @Paradisefound ... I would keep it. It is a signed slab by a numismatic giant. While not a medal of value, the significance is in the industry history and a founding member. Cheers, RickO
