The flagship magazine of Professional Coin Grading Service has evolved over the years to reflect the growth and diversification of the numismatic hobby and the services we provide. Courtesy of PCGS.

At PCGS, we are all about evolving, innovating, and making things better. While we are focused on protecting your numismatic collectibles and helping maximize their value, we do so much more here at PCGS, and we are driven to help educate hobbyists everywhere. Since the PCGS Rare Coin Market Report debuted in 2007, our magazine has served as one of the hobby’s leading publications for the latest market news, comprehensive numismatic analysis, and coverage of the coins and other collectibles our customers enjoy.

Yet, in the more than 15 years since this magazine first hit the streets, our mission at PCGS has grown – and we’ve reached beyond the scope of coins alone – which had been a key component of the magazine’s title and original focus. This issue of PCGS Market Report is the first to carry this banner, a more inclusive and dynamic nameplate that reflects where our company is today and where it’s headed in the future. We built our company on rare coins in 1986, and rare coins will always remain the core of what we do.

However, PCGS has branched out to encapsulating modern coins, common coinage, banknotes, tokens, and medals, as well as all kinds of numismatic curiosities from the United States and around the world, and it’s important that we now reflect this in the title and among the pages of our flagship publication. Yes, we’ve been covering banknote news, foreign monetary issues, and a diverse array of other numismatic collectibles for some time now. And as our content continues expanding further in the numismatic universe, the time has come for the cover of our magazine to reflect the ever richer array of content contained within its pages.

We look forward to continuing to bring you the very best numismatic content from the hobby’s leading experts. May PCGS Market Report help educate you, inspire you on new and exciting collecting ventures, and serve as your trusted guide for the latest news and information from across our hobby.

Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez has won multiple awards from the NLG and ANA for his work as a numismatic journalist and editor. He has been a coin collector since 1992 and enjoys all areas of United States coinage and U.S. minting history.
