<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lawdogct, post: 80232, member: 1476&quot;]Expanding what Miker said:</p><p><br /></p><p>First strike has 2 different meanings.&nbsp; The first maning is like watching a movie on opening day.&nbsp; The second is more literal meaning the &quot;First Strikes&quot; produced by a set of dies.&nbsp; The whole thing is a marketing tool.&nbsp; Dies are worn out and replaced through out the mintage run.&nbsp; So there are many MANY early strike coins.&nbsp; The first 20 strikes or so are usually discarded test strikes so you won&#039;t ever actually receive a &quot;first strike&quot; from a set of dies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
