PCGS will be celebrating their 25th anniversary next year. How should they celebrate and commemorate this important milestone? I would like to see them produce and sell a silver round and perhaps a 5 oz or 10 oz silver bar to mark this auspicious occasion. Your thoughts and suggestions?

<< <i>Maybe a gold medal with my image on it?
A gold medal for a silver anniversary? Interesting suggestion.

Yeah, slabbed with a "+" on every one!

<< <i>Thanks for those that actually gave a serious answer.
Sorry, it's 1:20am here, and I really should be going to bed.

Anyone who wants to can submit 20 silver coins for grading and get 5 more graded free or at half price.
The medals are a cool idea too.
Maybe one medal available to the general public, and one specifically for message board members?
Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

Or they can do a special 25th anniversary insert for slabs.

a) Switch to an authentication-only business, without slabs or numerical grading. Determination of originality of surfaces would still be fine and desirable.
or
b) Close.

<< <i>My vote is for a silver bar with the shape of the PCGS slab on it. with a 25th Anniv written somewhere. 1 oz or 5 oz bar should do. Make them available for a slight premium to all PCGS members. ( Limited to 2500 bars) >>
Why limit it to PCGS members only? Not every PCGS customer is a PCGS member. Also, if these silver bars can be sold for a profit, why should there be any limits except for a time frame of availability?

Great idea PerryHall!!
I would even buy the darn thing if it were well done.

Another option is to produce a high quality commemorative silver medal sold to members and dealers at a small markup over bullion. (This could also be given only to the show attendees, instead of being sold.)
PS: If PCGS has a medal struck, I recommend they commission sculptor Heidi Wastweet of Seattle to prepare the design. Her work is excellent and she understands medallic art.

I'm quoting you Roger, because your post reminded me of what I "almost" typed last night.
" Commission Daniel Carr to produce some "medallic" commemorative silver and gold pieces."

I'm sure that PCGS wants to be inundated with coins on their anniversary month. Talk about disgruntled employees.
