<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 4231806, member: 101855&quot;]The “first strike” label is misleading. The mints strike a large number of coins before they release them to the public. No one knows which coins were the first pieces off the dies. Given the nature of modern coin dies, especially for Proofs and other special strikes, like for the ASEs, it does not make much difference when the coin was struck. </p><p><br /></p><p>A more accurate term would be “first delivered,” but that does not sound sexy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
