2016 Medal PCGS Commemorative 30th Anniv. David Hall Signature

Coin Details

Description

This 2016 medal commemorates the 30th anniversary of the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), featuring the signature of PCGS founder David Hall. PCGS, founded in 1986, revolutionized coin collecting by introducing standardized third-party grading in tamper-evident holders, creating the modern market structure that allows coins to trade sight-unseen based on certified grades. David Hall's vision transformed numismatics from a hobby dependent on personal grading expertise into a transparent market with consistent standards. The production of commemorative medals in America spans from colonial-era pieces struck in European workshops to modern issues produced with twenty-first century digital design technology and advanced minting equipment. This anniversary medal celebrates three decades of innovation that fundamentally changed how coins are bought, sold, and collected in America and worldwide.
