PCGS Pink Label for US Mint breast cancer coins

For a limited time, Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) is offering a special Breast Cancer Research Foundation label to commemorate the release of U. S. Mint 2018 Breast Cancer Awareness Commemorative Coins. PCGS will be donating 50% of all label sales to Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) to promote a special donation program called “Submissions for a Cure.”

Pink PCGS Label

Included:

  • PCGS First Strike™ BCRF pink label
  • Pink coin gasket – available to Collectors Club Members for the first time.



The United States Mint (Mint) will begin accepting orders for product options in the 2018 Breast Cancer Awareness Commemorative Coin Program beginning on March 15. The coins will be struck in both Mint State and Proof formats.

The Breast Cancer Awareness Five Dollar Gold coin will have a pink hue, a first for the United States Mint.

The U.S. Mint is using the program to donate to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. $35 of each gold coin purchase, $10 of each silver dollar purchase, and $5 for each clad half dollar purchase is going to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Public law authorizes the Mint to strike and issue up to 50,000 gold coins, 400,000 silver dollar coins, and 750,000 half dollar coins in proof and uncirculated qualities. Customer demand will determine the ratio of proof to uncirculated coins minted within the authorized mintage limits.
