<p>[QUOTE="treehugger, post: 1370616, member: 28451"]You are by no means alone in that opinion, but as was already mentioned, there is a market for it. The reality is, to my understanding, it cannot be known for sure which coins were struck first and the sequence of which the remainder of the coins were struck. If that is true, the designation is meaningless. However, as is often the case, perception determines the reality, even though it is not the reality.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regardless of what is true, there are people who think the designation is important and are willing to pay more for it when they have coins graded and when they buy coins as well. That's their belief and it is their right to have it. On the other hand, there are many, myself included, who feel it is a marketing gimmick; just as there are many of us who feel paying more for graded modern bullion is silly. To each their own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
