Donna Pope
Former Director of the U.S. Mint
Donna Pope directed the U.S. Mint from 1981 to 1991, when the modern U.S. commemorative coin program began. She signed labels for PCGS's Mint Directors Series of autographed insert labels.
Background
- She served as Director of the U.S. Mint from 1981 until August 1991.
- Her tenure saw the start of the modern U.S. commemorative coin program with the 1982 George Washington half dollar.
- In 1981 she swore in Elizabeth Jones as the Mint's Chief Engraver, the first woman to hold that post.
The signed labels
She signed for PCGS's “Mint Directors Series” of autographed insert labels; PCGS's December 2004 release says she had already signed by then.
How to check a signed label
Every signed label is printed with the coin's certification number. Look the number up at pcgs.com/cert or ngccoin.com/certlookup. The record should match the coin, the grade and the label type shown in the holder.
