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

Coin Details

Description

This 1982 silver medal commemorates the 800th meeting of the Pacific Coast Numismatic Society, a remarkable milestone that few numismatic organizations in the world have achieved. The P.C.N.S. reaching eight hundred regular meetings by 1982 reflected sixty-seven years of sustained organizational activity since the society's 1915 founding, with an average of approximately twelve meetings per year maintained through wars, economic crises, and generational transitions. This achievement placed the P.C.N.S. among the most consistently active coin clubs in American history. The silver composition marks this as a premium commemorative, consistent with the P.C.N.S. tradition of using precious metal for its most significant milestone medals. The 800th meeting medal joins an extensive series of P.C.N.S. meeting-number medals that collectively document the society's institutional history with remarkable precision. By 1982, the P.C.N.S. had witnessed and participated in virtually every major development in twentieth-century American numismatics, from the classic commemorative era through the investment boom of the early 1980s.
