<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Midas, post: 174218, member: 2761&quot;]I love it...finally, a collector has had enough of this &quot;First Strike&quot; B.S. that he filed two independent class action lawsuits against PCGS and NGC to in essence,&nbsp; stop the B.S. of selling amd marketing &quot;First Strikes&quot; graded coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any serious collector will tell you that there is no way to determine if your &quot;First Strike&quot; did indeed come from a brand new die or was it the 10,000th coin struck from a die, but shipped with the &quot;first&quot; release.&nbsp; The mint has stated, &quot;... that &quot;First Strikes&quot; represents the date the box was packed and does not necessarily correlate with the date of manufacture&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Damning to PCGS&#039;s future defense will be their own co-founder, John Albanese who publically stated that, &quot;..coin dealers and grading services must stop calling the bullion coins fiirst strikes or risk losing credibility with collectors...it is flat out wrong...It really is a marketing gimic.&nbsp; It shouldn&#039;t be done.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>A letter was written to Con World suggesting those who own one of five 1913 Liberty nickels shold resubmit their coins for grading for a &quot;First Strike&quot; label.&nbsp; Hey why not?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
