<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1337978, member: 66&quot;]The law says that the coins must bear the year in which they were struck.&nbsp; The mint DOES start minting them ahead of time and claims that this is OK because they are not RELEASED until the year shown on the coins.&nbsp; That&#039;s not what the law says, it is quite clear, it says STRUCK!&nbsp; but anyway, the Mint has not released them yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are able to get a good close view of the slab and coin they are showing you will find that it is a mockup from a slab they have carefully cracked open and swapped the label with one they have made up.&nbsp; The coin is actually a 2011 ASE.&nbsp; They don&#039;t usually let you get a close look at these slabs on TV.&nbsp; This bit them back in 2006 when ANACS had announce their new slab design but hadn&#039;t shown it yet.&nbsp; HSN was showing an ANACS 2006 First Strike ASE at the end of Dec 2005 with a new fancy label.&nbsp; But ANACS delayed the introduction of their new slabs until February, and their First Strike labels looked nothing like those shown on HSN.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
