FIRST STRIKES

[Beijim]

What specifically does NGC's new "FIRST STRIKES" designation certify? How specifically does NGC determine that the "FIRST STRIKES" designation is appropriate? What documentation does NGC maintain to substantiate the designation? Is the United States Mint providing definitive documentation regarding the production process to support the designation?

 

Thank you,

Beijim
