1975 Medal Pacific Coast Numismatic Soc.

Coin Details

Description

This 1975 medal from the Pacific Coast Numismatic Society complements the silver 60th anniversary issue, produced in a base-metal composition to provide a more affordable option for members wishing to commemorate the diamond jubilee. The P.C.N.S. frequently produced its commemorative medals in multiple compositions, allowing collectors to choose between precious-metal and base-metal versions according to their preferences and budgets. The society's sixty-year milestone was a major event in West Coast numismatic circles, warranting a medal program with broad accessibility. The Pacific Coast Numismatic Society's 1975 celebrations looked back on six decades that encompassed the Panama-Pacific Exposition era, the interwar golden age of numismatics, World War II, the great collecting boom of the 1960s, and the market transformations of the early 1970s. Throughout these periods, the P.C.N.S. maintained its regular meeting schedule, its research publications, and its commitment to numismatic education. This medal, alongside the silver version, documents the organization's pride in its sustained contribution to the hobby on the Pacific Coast.

Rarity Notes

Scarce P.C.N.S. 60th anniversary medal in base metal. More accessible than the silver version but still produced in limited quantities.
