Quote: Chronos: From a practical standpoint, it allows you to send the coin to PCGS to be given First Strike designation at anytime as long as it's still in the original shipping box sealed. Does this mean I can still submit my 75th ASE for First Strike label? It's still in the unopened box from the mint. The way PCGS website reads even if unopened it needs to be received before the cutoff of 12/7/20 for First Strike. https://www.PCGS.com/firststrike

misit - it reads that it needs to be received by cutoff if opened, but if unopened the postmark needs to be prior to cutoff date even if you mail after cutoff date. Correct me if I am wrong anyone...

In other news, my v75 Gold finally made it to PCGS's encapsulation stage, grades not available, but today a PR67 appeared in the population. So I am praying that's not mine LOL

The way PCGS website reads even if unopened it needs to be received before the cutoff of 12/7/20 for First Strike. Option 2: "Submit the coins in the original unopened shipping box from the U.S. Mint with a postmark date prior to the specified PCGS cutoff date." In other words, the coin has to be sent to PCGS sealed/unopened in the original mint shipping box (put that in another box when shipping) with the postmark from when the mint originally sent it to the buyer being before the cutoff date. Example: An coin has a cutoff for First Strike designation of December 31, 2019. If you submit it with your shipping box post marked on or before 12/31/19, you're eligible. However, you send them say July 1, 2020 and still receive First Strike if the coin is still in it's unopened shipping box and the mint's shipping box is postmarked on or before 12/31/19. If you send the coin in after that day and it's not in the original shipping box and is just the coin itself, you won't be eligible for FS.

 Yes, you guys are right about the postmark date of the sealed box needs to be before the cutoff. I was reading it needed to be received by PCGS before the cutoff even in the sealed box. I need to work on my reading comprehension skills.

wyzeguy - I just got notice it shipped out today. Unbelievably slow for "express" service and well past the advertised turnaround of 10 business days. The big dealers must have special agreements that push their inventory to the front of the line. But I got a PR70 so I won't complain anymore. I will probably keep it. https://www.PCGS.com/cert/40831381

About a year late but I finally got the last silver medal graded that I got off ebay for about $100 - luckily turned out to be PR70! I got the other three coins at issue price.

Update on value/sales of the V75 Gold Eagles....3 PCGS graded PR-70s sold on Heritage last night for (2) $20,400 and (1) $21,600 which included buyer premium. Not a bad return after 5 years on a coin that cost $2,600. plus grading fees.
