<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 782321, member: 307&quot;]While entertaining my self the other night with our friends at the coin vault, They were showing a 1986 ASE in a holder I had never seen before.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was not first strike, nor was it early releases.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It was designated <b>FIRST YEAR OF ISSUE!</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I can understand the early releases (although it&#039;s completely meaningless as a judging factor of quality), or even first strike (again equally meaningless), but FIRST YEAR OF ISSUE???</p><p><br /></p><p>That means a 1909 Lincoln Cent can be put in this special holder! A&nbsp; 1913 Buffalo! And the list goes on and on!</p><p><br /></p><p>What possible benefit can there be to this new designation, and hasn&#039;t it become quite obvious now that NGC is merely trying to create more types of holders in an effort to have every coin graded by NGC?</p><p><br /></p><p>I am beyond words on this one...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
