<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Midas, post: 147621, member: 2761&quot;]The Frist Strike is all NONSENSE.&nbsp; Coin World just did a great editorial about this.&nbsp; Regarding the Buffalo $50 gold, they are suppose to change the dies after 5,000 strikes, but how would anyybody know if you received coins minted during the first run of this process, or&nbsp; if you received 4,999th struck coin of the die&#039;s life, minted in the first 30 days?</p><p><br /></p><p>Unless a mint official takes that very first coin directly off line and labels it as strike #1, there is no way to know.&nbsp; For me, I could care less if my coin was minted during the 4th quarter of the year as long as it was made right after a die was changed.&nbsp; So how would you or I or anybody else know that?</p><p><br /></p><p>What the TPG&#039;s like PCGS and NGC did was sure B.S.&nbsp; PCGS started with jessica lynch signed slabs and then quickly went into this nonsense.&nbsp; Other TPG&#039;s figured, why not?&nbsp; People will buy them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
