<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 7642350, member: 103207"]All I can say is unless you are at the mint the day they strike the coins and can buy them directly from the mint it is impossible to know when a coin was actually struck. They could stock pile thousands before releasing them. It's possible to get a first release coin but, first strike hard to tell. Even if that's on a slab "first strike" try to prove it. Can't be done. I wouldn't pay anything extra for a slabbed coin with that nonsense on the label.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
