ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19126 Posts	Posted 06/21/2022 09:07 am In the wide world of exonumia, there are many examples of commercial and quasi-commercial medallions which recognize in some form the subject entity. Some of these examples were struck in high relief, and sizes which border on gargantuan. Thinking about some of those Medallic Art medallions produced years ago. How cool would it be (or not...) if PCGS or NGC (or other) produced their own ultra high relief, large format medallions for limited distribution--extolling the vision and virtues of their enterprises. I gotta think they'd make money--but, perhaps that's not important. Report this Post to the Staff

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3323 Posts	Posted 06/21/2022 11:58 am PCGS produced a silver anniversary medal a year or two back. I don't believe it's high relief, though. I think most folks on CCF are familiar with this medal, but I've linked their page for reference: https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin...ilver/887774 "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff

It's got a denomination of $2 from Niue on it. Quote: Yeah, I'm thinking ultra high relief, perhaps in the 70+ mm range. I doubt they would issue a medallion that's too large to fit inside one of their own standard-sized slabs. Kind of defeats the purpose, I'd reckon. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
