1972 Medal 682nd Meeting December 27th P.C.N.S. Brass

Coin Details

Description

This 1972 brass medal commemorates the 682nd meeting of the Pacific Coast Numismatic Society, held on December 27th. The P.C.N.S. maintained an extraordinarily active meeting schedule that by 1972 had produced nearly seven hundred gatherings since the society's founding in 1915. The precise recording of both the meeting number and date on the medal reflects the P.C.N.S.'s meticulous institutional record-keeping and its tradition of documenting milestone meetings through medallic issues. The brass composition follows the P.C.N.S. convention for meeting-number medals, keeping costs manageable for pieces distributed to attending members. The December 27th date indicates a meeting held between Christmas and New Year's, demonstrating the dedication of the society's membership in maintaining their regular gathering schedule even during the holiday season. The P.C.N.S. meeting-number medal series represents one of the most extensive and continuous medallic programs maintained by any American numismatic organization, creating a remarkable timeline of the society's institutional history preserved in metal.
