Hello.. I have a few questions about sending a few coins to be graded. I have never submitted anything for grading before. I have a sealed 2014 HOF Baseball Silver Unc. Dollar that was shipped from the mint on 05-06-2014. As long as this box is sent to be graded still sealed from the US Mint does the date it was shipped make it eligible for a 1st strike label? Also I would like to send in a 5oz. Quarter I purchased from the mint "Not Sealed" to be graded. So where should I send these to? What is your opinion on the best one to choose? If someone has a link they could share I can look it up and read my options. I would just like your recommendations, and yes I already know some might say save your money it's not worth it, but I have my reasons for sending in these 2 particular items. Thank You...
IMO, either NGC or PCGS. If you want your OGP back, there is an extra cost and you have to ask for it.
Looks like you can only get the 1st strike from PCGS in the 1st 30 days. http://www.pcgs.com/firststrike/ NGC's website was more confusing, but I'd guess they are the same? http://www.ngccoin.com/coin-grading/scale-designations/other.aspx
Good thing you no longer qualify for the "First Strike" labels; those are not relevant to actual numismatists.
