Charles L. Vickers had a long career in numismatic coins. After his service in the Army, Vickers attended the Art Students League, Frank Reilly School of Art, the Pratt Institute, and the School of Visual Arts.
In 1976, Vickers took his skills and knowledge and moved to Philadelphia to work at the private Franklin Mint. In 1985, he started his own studio where he became world renowned for his commissioned works. Some of these include the official medal of the Ronald Reagan Library, the Four Pillars of Freedom set in the Reagan Library, the Pope John Paul II 25th Anniversary medal and the 2001 George W. Bush inaugural medal just to name a few.
By 2003, Vickers became so well known that he joined the engraving team at the U.S. Mint. He is credited with the following coin designs listed below.
In 2016, Vickers retired from the Mint after a 13 year tenure. During this time, he began signing coins for NGC. Unfortunately, Charles Vicker's health has been in decline. He has recently been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and Dementia. As a result, Vickers is no longer capable of signing additional labels for NGC. This makes any future coins that bare his name that much more special.
