<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoinSaver, post: 290405, member: 9979&quot;]:desk:I guess everyone missed my point.&nbsp; Everyone gets involved in the discussion what is or isn&#039;t a first strike or early realease coin.&nbsp; The reasoning of course is that a coin &quot;Struck Early&quot; or one of the first struck on a new die will be a nicer or better struck coin.&nbsp; That would mean that the early ones would be the proof 70 ultra cameo&#039;s and the quality would go down from there.&nbsp; However if NGC grades the coin without the &quot;early release&quot; they are saying they don&#039;t know when it was minted (could have been the 100,000 coin) and they still grade it the same proof 70 ultra cameo so they have shot themselves in the foot.&nbsp; They imply the 100,000 coin is as perfect as the first coin per their own admission.&nbsp; Therefore the reasoning of the first strikes being better is null &amp; void.&nbsp; So where&#039;s the extra value?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Besides the mint says they don&#039;t use just one die they have several and they are replaced at different times during the year.&nbsp; Thus this proof 70 ultra cameo could have been from the first batch of the 22nd die months after the original release date.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyone paying an additional $236.00 is getting ripped-off and I don&#039;t know why the dealers keep promoting this stuff.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On second thought , yes I can, like they say there is one born every minute.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
