<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Indianhead65, post: 312655, member: 103422&quot;]The &quot;first day of issue&quot; scam was something that NGC started adding to the label just so the coins would draw more collector interest and therefore sell for much more money than they were really worth. Adding an MS70 grade to it just made it all the more absurd. What a total waste of money. The same thing goes with the slabs labeled &quot;first strike&quot;. Even the mint employees wouldnt be able to tell you which coins were minted on the first day of production. <i>Coin World </i>interviewed Mint Director Moy about the &quot;first strike&quot; designations and even he said there wouldn&#039;t be any possible way of knowing which coins were struck the first day. As far as I&#039;m concerned, HSN and all of the other &quot;shop at home&quot; shows are a joke as far as coins go.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
