<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 168605, member: 66&quot;]PCGS says this but they did not begin producing First Strike coins until 2005.&nbsp; They may have come up with the scam in 2004 but they didn&#039;t implement it until Jan 2005.&nbsp; Earlier dated coins with the &quot;First Strike&quot; designation are coins sent in after Jan 1st 2005 in sealed green monster boxes with dates before Jan 31 of their respctive years.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Why?&nbsp; The Mint has gone out of their way with their documents to firmly state that there is no way to correlate the date of striking with the dates on the packages.&nbsp; I don&#039;t trust the mint usually but in this case I would trust them over the claims of the scammers selling the coins.&nbsp; If I was to accept that claim from the scammers I would want documentation to back it up, such as a copy of the letter from the mint making that statement and a copy of the packing slip, which should date for 2006 silver eagles to sometime around late August 2005! (We&#039;ll see if they get that right.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
