Past coins really prior to 2012 or whatever there cutoff date is idk .. seem washy

 

NGC says to qualify for the designation: "Coins issued in prior years are eligible for the Early Production designation if they are still sealed in their original mint packaging with a date on or before January 31."

So I take that to mean only prior year coins still in original mint packaging with a date. Does not sound like you could resubmit already graded coins.

 

Another scam to make coins look like they are worth more than they really are. The "First Strike" designation is already a joke. The US Mint starts making some coins as early as September the year before. They are put in storage (inventory) and are not at all traceable to the date of manufacture. There is no way to tell if a coin was the first (even early) strike or near the last. The commercial end of the collecting game has come up with ways to make you think that the coin is early production. Throw your money away if you like and then tell all your friends that you got your coin earlier than other people.

 

Okay so like u.s.mint products are traceable to a degree

 

In most cases we know that they were made by the U S Mint. We don't know when.

 

A good example: the birth set was released January 3, 2020. It includes the following. Do you think the mint worked real hard over the New Year holiday to make all those coins?

The 2020 United States Mint Birth Set is an ideal gift for the arrival of a baby in 2020. It includes these proof coins, each bearing the “S” mint mark of the United States Mint at San Francisco:

• Kennedy half dollar
• National Park of American Samoa quarter from the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program
• Roosevelt dime
• Jefferson nickel
• Lincoln penny

 

I agree with the sentiment that it is basically a worthless designation used to hype up and sell the coins for more.

 

Okay so do you need to submit order paperwork

 

I don't know. It is a scam and I do not take part in scams. It is only a way to suck money out of people who do not understand coins and coin production.

 

Yeah I would think that you would need to send the coin out to NGC before they stop making the early strikes. That's the only way really.

 

Basically it is for silver eagles that are still in their sealed green monster boxes that have packing slips in them showing they were packed before Jan 1. You ship them a sealed box of say 2003 silver eagles, and when they open it the packing slip say it was packed Dec 18, 2002. These coins are now eligible for this new label. So they will probably call you and ask "Hey these silver eagles you sent in are eligible for the Pre Production label. You want to spring for the extra $12.50 per label to have them say that?" (After all that's an extra $6,250 into the TPG's pocket. That's worth calling and asking about.)

 

Well , my coffee is on the screen now ....................................

 

I’m still not clear as to what you’re looking for. Do you have coin(s) that might qualify for this designation, or were you just wondering what is needed to receive the “Early xxx” designation?
If you have a potential submission, consider explaining the details here. You will likely get the answer you need, but not necessarily the one you want!

 

Be safe not sorry. In my opinion the best TPG is the first G YOU

 

I heartily agree with @Inspector43 and @Lawtoad that it is just a gimmick to get more coins sent to them for grading. NAV IMHO.

 

@kaosleeroy108 I hope you are following your own advice printed as a footnote in your posts.

 

I would think that if you had an unopened box from the mint with a postmark containing the date, that would be sufficient. Anything more would not.
