[QUOTE="Casman, post: 3082631, member: 85295"]The PCGS FS eligibility lasts forever as long as the outer brown us mint shipping box remains sealed and the coin was received by you within the first 30 days. If you send your coin in within the first 30 days of release you do not need to send the US mint packaging "if" that was the only way it was released. I've recently sold a bunch of Graded 70 Buffs and realized zero premium. In fact a few of the raw ones did equal or better. The one exception is the 2008W Buff's where having the FS designation adds a substantial premium, figure throughout the fractionals $4-6K per oz. But that was an unusual year. NGC rules are different. From the PCGS site: [IMG]https://www.pcgs.com/Content/img/static/firststrike/icon-postmark.png[/IMG] The package mailed to PCGS has a postmark date prior to the PCGS cutoff date for that particular coin/issue. Only the coins need to be mailed to PCGS and received within the first 30 days of issue. [IMG]https://www.pcgs.com/Content/img/static/firststrike/icon-box.png[/IMG] Submit the coins in the original unopened shipping box from the U.S. Mint with a postmark date prior to the specified PCGS cutoff date.[/QUOTE]
