<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dreamer94, post: 290418, member: 6449&quot;]The term &quot;Early releases&quot; is the same fraudulent and deceptive crap that the term &quot;First Strikes&quot; was.&nbsp; This change in terminology shouldn&#039;t fool anyone.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, even after the lawsuit against NGC, First Spouse coins were still being slabbed by PCGS as &quot;First Strikes&quot;.&nbsp; PCGS has even copyrighted the name &quot;PCGS First Strike&quot; (see <a href="http://www.pcgs.com/firststrike/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com/firststrike/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcgs.com/firststrike/</a>).&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure what is more reprehensible; copyrighting a general use term or applying it in a misleading and fraudulent way.&nbsp; Perhaps I should copyright the term &quot;Dreamer 24 carat gold&quot; and apply it to presidential dollars!</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as I&#039;m concerned, people who submit their coins in mint-sealed boxes to get the &quot;First Strikes&quot; designation are contributing to the problem as much as the TPG&#039;s are.&nbsp; If we want this to stop, collectors will have to stop paying a premium for fraudulent designations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
