[QUOTE="tanner520, post: 30342, member: 1613"]ndgoflo, it was Home Shopping Network that had the "presale" MS70 ICG's. Coin Vault is strickly NGC and PCGS. What a laugh...they're going to predict how many they're going to get. Talk about marketing. Hey GDJMSP, I'm glad you said what you did about the dies. Anyone that thinks they use one die through the year without changing them out needs to bone-up on how they make coins in the first place. Let's see...what logic would I have to employ to make the "first strikes of the year" theory a reality. 1) the Mint would have to use every die at one time so that means they would be striking a given number of coins and then switching the die 2) the Mint could not make any more dies after the first are made because, after all, the quality has to get lower throughout the year, right?? ;) 3) then they would have to go back through all the dies again and keep cycling through all the dies until they were done striking altogether Come on people....we know better than that don't we? :)[/QUOTE]
