jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 10/07/2018 3:17 pm On another thread it was stated that the 2017-S Proof Silver Eagle First Strike Designation (from PCGS) would include "Limited Edition Proof Set" if from the proof set, and "Congratulations Set" if from the Congratulations set, and simply "Limited Edition" if submitted without the government package to tell the difference. But this makes no sense because the Congratulations set sold out in April and the Limited edition proof set sold out in October, so if it was a First Strike submitted raw, it seems to me would have to be from the Congratulations set to qualify. Can someone clarify? Thank You Report this Post to the Staff

Alpha2814 Pillar of the Community United States 2023 Posts	Posted 10/07/2018 5:02 pm If it's any consolation, the PCGS number 653677 appears on their population chart as "2017-S $1 Silver Eagle Limited Edition Proof Set - First Strike, DC". Do we know that other 653677 labels have the words "Proof Set" on them? It could just be a labeling error for those missing words. Report this Post to the Staff

However, I have 2 with the labels as described in my original post, so it COULD be a labeling error, or they used the labels interchangeable, although I have not seen any others like the 2 I have in any grade.

A certification check of that slab states that the "Limited Edition" ASE is actually listed as: Quote: CERT VERIFICATION #35232947 Date, mintmark 2017-S Denomination $1 Variety Silver Eagle Limited Edition Proof Set - First Strike Country The United States of America Grade PR69DCAM Holder Type Standard Population 528 Pop Higher 1,006 I now vote labeling error. Excellent logic Edited to add: Oops...sorry. I just actually read Alpha's post that says the same... Edited by Foxwoods Man 10/08/2018 07:31 am Report this Post to the Staff
