    What You Need To Know----Important

    First Day of Issue are those packged by the mint in special display cards. Go to the US Mint site. The Presidential $'s are available there.You can subscribe and get them sent directly to you as they are produced. (So you don't miss any)

     

    I've read on linr that the First Mintage Coins have several names depending on whom you buy from. (First Strike, Early Release). The designations are a marketing ploy. A coin can be sent to PCGS with a copy of the USMints invoice and if it's dated within the first 30 days of the "Release" date, and if there are "offering" "First Strike" for the coin in question, it will come back in a First Strike Slad. Oh Yea, $18 additional.

    I sent in 2 Disabled Vets Silver $ Commemes. Got an an email they weren't offering First Strike for them. They did not refund my $36.

     

    I speculate some "Quantity" dealers have cut deals to have certain issues designated "Firsts".

    Here's the skinny. http://coins.about.com/od/coingrading/a/first_strike_co.htm
