I have gone back into the NGC archives and read several different posts, chats, threads.... in the past but I have one question in particular as I am still a bit unclear on the First, Early, etc.. label and topics.  I am familiar with (I think)  NGC doing away with one the these "designations" due to a lot of controversy surrounding this First Strike(s) theory.  Being that there are several different reputable TPG's out there, namely ANACS, NGC, PCGS, and ICG.... it is my assumption that each of these TPG's have a maximum designated number of coins allocated, within their respective organization, in which they will apply the labels I mentioned in the Topic of this post.  Am I correct in saying this?  Thanks.

I'm not sure it this answers your question but, for example, NGC will label all coins sent "Early Release" as long as they meet their criteria for the Early Release designation, namely 30 days from release. The only things that limit the number labeled as such is the number sent in on time and the number minted within the first 30 days.

Gotcha Mike.  That actually does answer my question.  I see now that the days are limited and that however many coins come in during that time will receive such a label.  That makes sense.  I'm sure the other TPG's have their same set of criteria.  Thanks.
