russell1256 Valued Member United States 216 Posts	Posted 02/27/2023 07:55 am How can this be a "First Strike" if it was never struck? https://www.ebay.com/itm/234907297885 Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 02/27/2023 07:56 am huh! Good point - Who know WHEN that planchet was created.. Unless it was inserted into a set with other coins and the entire set was sent in together.. There has to be a back story for this one. it is dated 2019 so not part of the 4 coin Lincoln set.. Here is what I found: https://catalog.usmint.gov/explore-...9-19XGB.html Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." - Benjamin Franklin 7070 type set coin count: 51/76 Uncirculated American Silver Eagles My American Silver Eagle Proof Collection Sacagawea Dollars Innovation Dollars Eisenhower-Dollars Kennedy-Half Dollars Washington-Quarters Roosevelt-Dimes Buffalo-Nickels 1938-2005 Jefferson-Nickels Lincoln-Cents Edited by Dearborn 02/27/2023 08:03 am Report this Post to the Staff

Bret Pillar of the Community United States 1913 Posts	Posted 02/27/2023 10:53 am It came as part of the Explore and Discover set. Since they certified it, it had to have been received in a sealed box by PCGS within 30 days of the set's release. It's a complete waste of money in my opinion, but someone will probably buy it.

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4587 Posts	Posted 02/28/2023 08:13 am Because "First Strike" is a piece of marketing blather, not meaningful... For that particular company, "First Strike" means the coin was delivered into their grubby little hands within 30 days of the coin being initially issued. How that translates to strike order, I've never figured out. For many special finishes, all of the coins are struck over a few days and they are then delivered to collectors from that population. Again strike order is meaningless to the label. Finally, suppose the coins really are struck over many days... would you rather the first coin struck from fresh new dies on day 45? Or the last coin struck from old dies on day 44? Yep, it's just marketing blather, but you pay extra for the label. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
beerandchips New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 03/01/2023 10:37 am The ebay add was misleading to say the least. Called it an error. As a labeled piece of a set, it could not be an "error". Report this Post to the Staff
