Mint directors & Treasury officials

Philip N. Diehl

Former Director of the U.S. Mint

Philip N. Diehl directed the U.S. Mint from 1994 to 2000, the era that launched the 50 State Quarters and the Sacagawea dollar. He signed PCGS labels as part of its 2004 Mint Directors Series.

Background

  • He was appointed by President Bill Clinton and led the Mint from June 1994 to March 2000.
  • PCGS credits his era with the launch of the 50 State Quarters, the Sacagawea dollar, and the Platinum Eagle bullion program.
  • He expanded the Mint's website into a large consumer sales site.

The signed labels

On December 9, 2004, PCGS announced that Diehl had joined its “Mint Directors Series” of autographed insert labels, each paired with a coin struck during the director's time in office.

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.
