Welcome to CoinTalk. Photos of coins taken at steep angles make it hard to see what we need to see. Can you retake the photos straight on?
By "First Strike" are you referring to the traditional term (first few coins struck by new dies) or the modern marketing term (coins of a new...
Using that logic you would also "watch out for and collect": 1999 Connecticut Quarter because the Charter Oak depicted on the coin is no longer...

What is "AT Toning"? Artificial Toning Toning? :D
