<p>[QUOTE=&quot;silvermonger, post: 346366, member: 12490&quot;]oh boy talk about ancient history</p><p>first strike and early release were just some labels PCGS and NGC came up with to help sell TV coins. Remember, the coin vault paid them truckloads of $$$$ to slab up those truckloads of MS69-70 moderns.</p><p>AFAIK, they are both still slabbing early release early in the year on many coins and for some reason thats ok still.</p><p>Read the Mint&#039;s blurb on those coins, it seems they all go into a pile until they are sold, then they are dated so there is no way to know if your coin was one of the first 100 on the dies or the 4000th strike</p><p>I still think it was stupid to sue them for that. Its just marketing. People who are already overpaying for Mint products feel better if they think their coin is &quot;special&quot;, First Strike was feeding into that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
