Popular Post Sandon Posted Tuesday at 10:31 PM Popular Post Share Posted Tuesday at 10:31 PM I'm sure you'll soon have lots and lots of company, if not on your block, then among collectors of modern coins. It's interesting to note that the 2023s have a round top "3", whereas Silver Eagles of 1993, 2003, and 2013 all have flat top "3"s.

I got a terrific price on this early production coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are those anything like the flat top engines they used to put in hot rods? JT2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenntucky Mike Posted Wednesday at 12:59 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:59 AM Nice Mr. B. Not your first rodeo, if graded ASE's are your thing no problemo. They are just not mine, anymore. Good luck my friend, you have been given good advice here and ATS, collect what you like. Hoghead515 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleRJO Posted Wednesday at 01:42 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:42 AM Interesting that the reverse label includes a blurb about what the "First Strike" means. Fenntucky Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, that's the first time I've noticed that on the back of PCGS slabs. I wonder if that is a recent addition? Probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were previously questions about what coins qualified for that "First Strike" designation, which was buried a little. AdamWL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandon Posted Wednesday at 03:10 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:10 AM I suppose they might not sell as many if they labeled these coins "FIRST FEW MILLION STRIKES"! EagleRJO and AdamWL 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very happy for the ones who do though. Ive bout quit buying it altogether. I may go for the proofs from the mint if I do get any. I dont see anothing wrong at all for the ones who do. I just found other areas in the hobby Im more interested in. I can use that money to focus on them instead. Very nice pickup Mr. Bill !!!
