<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 831582, member: 13650&quot;]Personally, I&#039;d call it a marketing ploy and I don&#039;t own any with those designations or actively seek them out.&nbsp; &nbsp; Theoretically, I think it&#039;s supposed to mean something like they are the highest quality examples that could come out that year because the dies were brand new.&nbsp; And, it&#039;s probably supposed to give people a warm feeling inside.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; But if you take the 2009 UHRs for example, I thought I read somewhere that it was hard on the dies making them and they replaced the dies after so many batches.&nbsp;&nbsp; If there&#039;s a first day of issue on those, it can&#039;t mean a whole lot.&nbsp;&nbsp; I think other proof coins have gotten the dies replaced mid production as well.&nbsp; But not positive.&nbsp; Maybe someone else can verify.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
