We’re thrilled to kick off the 40th anniversary of PCGS! The past four decades have been truly transformative for numismatics, and when we
look back to when we started in 1986 it’s amazing to think how much our hobby has evolved since we graded our first coin. Our success has been tied to the solid support of the numismatic community. Ultimately, our continued growth and the underpinnings of why we do what we do is to help make our hobby safer and more fun for everyone. It’s a mission at the very core of why we even launched this business. We began authenticating, grading, and encapsulating coins as a response to what was then an overwhelming need for an authoritative, consistent voice in coin grading and authentication.
