<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 4547841, member: 112&quot;]I don&#039;t believe I mentioned it in this thread but I sure have in others. IMO, many if not most of the special designations are nothing more than just another gimmick used in effort to get collectors to use this TPG over that TPG. From day one they have tried various ways to get potential customers to choose &quot;them&quot; over &quot;the other guys&quot;. Designations like White, First Strike, Early Strike, Early Release, *, they all come to mind. And even the so called special strike designations, FS, FBL, FH, etc etc - not a single one of them has anything to do with the coin actually being well struck let alone fully struck. In point of fact many if not most of them with those designations are poorly struck, weakly struck - and yet they carry the designation on the slab. And the meaninglessness of these designations is further amplified by the fact the TPGs each have different criteria that must be met for the coin to qualify for the designation, almost always with one weaker or stronger than &quot;the other guy&quot; requires.</p><p><br /></p><p>When you take all of that into account it&#039;s hard to see any of it being anything but a gimmick ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
