My first graded coin purchase has just arrived - Jefferson's Liberty $10 gold coin. The PCGS label says First Strike PR70DCAM:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/22094182864....m1497.l2649

However, checking PCGS Cet Verification service (cert #12056637), it turned out it is not registered as a first strike.

I know that the coin had been sold out the very first day of release and technically speaking it should be first strike, but should I worry?

Where did you find the cert number? I don't see it in the auction. The cert number you provided is not for a FS coin and the submitter must pay extra for the FS label.

The coin pictured is clearly in a First Strike labeled slab and the $960 hammer price is market correct. You have PayPal protection (I hope) if you do not the receive the coin pictured, so I wouldn't be worried but am curious as to where you obtained the cert number.

I received the coin today. Thus, I know the cert number.

You are correct, the cert number is not FS coin as per PCGS. This is my concern.

However, everything looks authentic.

No worries. It is a simple typo by PCGS. You could e-mail the pics to them and ask for their advice.

Lovely looking coin and a great start to your commemorative gold collection.

I agree ... No Worries ... just a PCGS typo while entering the coin info into their database.

Send them a note with the cert# and they will correct it.

WOW! Nice coin! That's a good purchase all the way.

Agree with the others, just contact PCGS and they'll fix it.
