The requirement for first strike is that the item must be sealed in it's shipping box and have a ship date within 30 days of release. Is there a time limit for submission? For instance, if I hang on to a box for a year or two and then submit it, is it still eligible?

From PCGS site:

Quote:
THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO OBTAIN THE FIRST STRIKE DESIGNATION

1. The package mailed to PCGS has a postmark date prior to the PCGS cutoff date for that particular coin/issue. Only the coins need to be mailed to PCGS and received within the first 30 days of issue.
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.


From NGC site:

Quote:
To qualify for Early Releases, all coins must generally be received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within 30 days* of their release. Coins being sent directly to NGC do not need to be accompanied by original packaging or shipped in sealed Mint boxes, but must arrive within the time period described above. The Early Releases request must be noted on the submission invoice, and additional service fees apply for the special label and designation verification. This is the default label for coins received within their first 30 days* of issue.


edit: spelling

Thanks. Figured there must be a limit or everyone would just hold on to boxes until they saw value in the submission.
