<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 7638505, member: 13650&quot;]I am a big fan of slabbed coins and just opened a box from NGC,&nbsp; 15 minutes ago.&nbsp; I wholeheartedly agree with the above statement.&nbsp; &nbsp; First day of issue and first strike is a total gimmick.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Especially when you’re talking relatively low mintage collector coins.&nbsp; The idea being that the early ones have a stronger strike due to less die wear.&nbsp; Well how much measurable flipping die wear can there be after minting 100k coins on who knows how many machines?&nbsp; Everything is first strike in these instances IMO.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;The 2016 100th anniversary commems were eligible for first strike if you got them there for grading In OGP soon enough.&nbsp; The same dies were used to make them all at same time without a problem and would imagine the last is indistinguishable from the first.&nbsp; Same with these Morgans.&nbsp;&nbsp; It’s an extra fee and more official writing on the label.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
