<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bzcollektor, post: 186577, member: 3241&quot;]Good Thread. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Last year on the infamous and defunct show hosted by Robert Chambers&nbsp; on the Scripps shopping network &quot;Coin Vault&quot;, They bragged about how they had &quot;FIRST STRIKE&quot; 2006 Silver Eagles that were minted in AUGUST 2005. First Strike MEANS NOTHING. I believe both NGC and PCGS would certify any Silver eagle as &quot;FIRST STRIKE&quot; if it was shown as &quot;DELIVERED&quot; before Jan 31st of the mintage year.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Hmmmmmm, seems the 2006 Silver Eagle &quot;FIRST STRIKES&quot; were minted for at least 5 months during the year 2005, plus the whole month of January 2006.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; What a lotta hype and crap about first strike.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; First Strike for 6 MONTHS?????&nbsp; &nbsp; ????????? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??????????</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; As an aside to those of you who know that dies for striking coins are are replaced by NEW DIES&nbsp; all during the life of that coin, you can have a coin minted during Jan, April , July, or November&nbsp; that is a &quot;FIRST STRIKE&quot; off of that die which is as perfect as the First Strike Minted in August of the year before.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I REALLY REALLY can`t believe&nbsp; that any SEMI-Educated coin person would buy into the first strike nonsense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
