<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mark Feld, post: 737454, member: 11467&quot;]A number of years ago, certain grading companies began using the &quot;first strike&quot; designation on some modern coins, even though the designation had little, if anything to do with when the coins were actually struck. In essence, they took a long standing numismatic term (&quot;first strike&quot;) and, in&nbsp; misleading fashion, changed it&#039;s meaning, for marketing purposes.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Personally, I think it was a terrible thing to do. I have spoken out publicly on that subject on a number of occasions, and was booted from the PCGS forums about 3 years ago, as a result.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
