larryt Valued Member Canada 51 Posts	Posted 08/14/2010 10:08 am In the 2011 edition of Charlton page 65 they have a listing for a 2005P cent with a description of 'First Day' and a 2006P with 'Last Day'. What do the terms 'First Day', 'Last Day' signify. Thanks Larry Report this Post to the Staff

cdcoinman Valued Member Canada 372 Posts	Posted 08/15/2010 09:17 am Here is my opinion on the subject. The Mint added the term First Day to the first few thousands coins being minted using the newly installed dies for a given denomination.How many qualify for this attribution remains a mystery to me.The logic behind it is that the quality of these coins should be a bit superior to the coins minted afterward using the same dies and therefore command a small premium. For exemple,if you collect small cents,your chance of getting a MS-67 should be greater searching these rolls than the regular ones. I do not know of any last day issue. Report this Post to the Staff
