What is it, other than the meaning of the words. Is there any history behind it? I see it on many labels of PCGS certified Franklin Halves.

Probably, like other "hoards"--They found a TON of Franklins at an Omaha bank and decided to add a few words to make a few more dollars--It is a TPG gimmic to make peeps think that it is special when all they are, are common coins--Be careful and don't overpay for them just because they found a hoard at some off the wall bank--Coin Vault does this alot with morgans from here & there--When a TPG adds that though it is to make the potential buyer think that it is something special when not--Just like this "first strike" phenom going on now. What is the difference bwt a MS70 2006 and a MS70 "first strike" 2006? They are both MS70 aren't they? Just away for TPG's & dealers to charge EXTREME money for the same thing--I don't play or participate in their game--

A guy who had been collecting rolls for many years (starting in the late 30's), which he had purchased new at an Omaha bank, finally sold out to Heritage a few years ago. That amounted to 2000+ rolls of dimes, quarters and halves. Heritage sent them out for overgrading, which they can apparently have for the asking. You'll understand why I put it that way if you've seen some of the PCGS grades on these coins.

Thank you, Yes I see most of these on Heritage, your story explains why. I was also curious as to why most are Franklins as others would come up here and there. I guess the guy mostly collected Franklins.
