<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Burton Strauss III, post: 5399657, member: 59677&quot;]COA #s - in fact, nothing, not first strike, early releases - related to production sequence.</p><p><br /></p><p>All of the coins were made in advance, boxed with a COA from the stack, and placed on pallets. The mint&#039;s fulfillment contractor removed the overwrap from the pallets, slapped shipping labels on boxes, and sent them on their way. The coins on the bottom of the pallet (last shipped) were likely minted before the top coins, but multiple pallets, so ???</p><p><br /></p><p>The mint also used many dies to strike the 30,000 coins. (I think that was the mintage). So if they got 500 strikes from a pair of dies, do you want #498 or #502 (as if you could even get them numbered in strike order which you can&#039;t)?????[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
