1982 Medal 800th Meeting P.C.N.S. Bronze

Coin Details

Description

This 1982 bronze medal is the base-metal companion to the silver version of the P.C.N.S. 800th meeting medal, offering members an affordable alternative to the precious-metal issue. The bronze composition maintains the commemorative significance of the milestone while keeping the medal accessible to the broader membership. The P.C.N.S. consistently produced its milestone medals in multiple compositions, and the 800th meeting was no exception, with both silver and bronze versions available. The 800th meeting of the Pacific Coast Numismatic Society was an achievement that deserved recognition in multiple formats. The bronze version had a slightly larger production run than the silver, making it modestly more available to collectors while still remaining scarce in absolute terms. The P.C.N.S. medal series in both precious and base metals creates a comprehensive collecting challenge for enthusiasts of West Coast numismatic organization history, with each meeting-number medal documenting a specific moment in the society's continuous operation since 1915.

Rarity Notes
