I realize this wasn't minted in the US, but the top of my Christmas list is the new Australian $1,000,000 gold coin, made from 1 metric ton (1,000...
In fact, they WERE sued at the same time. (see...
In 2007, NGC and PCGS were both sued for deceptive use of the term "First Strike"...
Collectors could put a stop to the nonsense by refusing to buy into it. Just because the TPG's don't have the integrity to stop using a...
Perhaps you should say, your $18 worth. That's what PCGS charges to print the words "First Strike" on a label.;)
I don't like it. PCGS is ripping people off by charging extra for a "First Strike" designation. It is a meaningless designation in the first...

The biggest difference was the UHR wasn't a limited mintage. They produced them to demand. The only anxiety was whether the price would go up...
I wanted 3 sets - one for me and one for each of my children. They are both teenagers. They aren't really all that interested in coins, but I...

The only reason I can think of for doing that is to be able to send only some of the coins to the TPG's in a sealed box for the "First Strikes"...
When is "First strike" designation not worthless? (and dishonest?)
If an issue sells out in a few hours, isn't the designation "First Strike" totally absurd? ("Early releases" would be equally absurd).
