<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aslanmia, post: 416235, member: 11753&quot;]Copied from email</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>----------</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i>Effective August 19, 2008, First Strike® inserts will once again be made available to members of the PCGS Collectors Club. This reverses a policy that went into effect on July 1, 2008, under which First Strike® inserts were limited to dealer submissions. </i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i>&quot;The collecting community let us know loud and clear that they wanted access to the First Strike® inserts&quot;, said Ron Guth, PCGS President. &quot;Collectors like the First Strike® program and they want the opportunity to have their own coins certified.&quot; </i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i>The revised policy applies only to current and future submissions. Collectors Club members may submit their coins under any service level with payment of the appropriate grading fees, plus an additional $12 per coin to cover the cost of the special, First Strike® insert. The extra fee includes the cost of returning the mint packaging to the customer. To qualify for the First Strike® insert, all submissions must be received by PCGS or sent in a mint-sealed package postmarked within 30 days of the original release date (see the PCGS website </i><i>for deadline dates). </i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i>For further information about the First Strike® program, visit </i><a href="http://www.pcgs.com/firststrike/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com/firststrike/" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #0000ff"><i>www.pcgs.com/firststrike/</i></span></a><i> or call a PCGS Customer Service representative at 800-447-8848</i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i>Ron Guth</i></p><p><i>President</i></p><p><i>Professional Coin Grading Service</i><a href="http://www.pcgs.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #0000ff"><i>www.pcgs.com</i></span></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>----------</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Every collector I know sees this first strike nonsense as a bunch of hooey. I guess everyone is out to make a few moderns, with runs in the millions, something special. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
