First Year of Issue Label

Zoins

I've always thought it would be awesome if PCGS branched out the pieces it issued the First Strike label to classics.

For example, I have a First Steam Press medal with MAR 23 engraved over FEB 22. This is clearly one of the first struck and it would be great to have a First Strike label.

So, I just ran across the following ATS insert and was hoping PCGS would look at this again.

I'd like a First Strike label for my 1878 VAM 9 Morgan. Eh, not really.

That would be great to see!

Personally I don't like any sort of special labels. Why not a "Last Year of Issue" to go with it? They always strike me as gimmicky. But that's just me.

Not a label collector... Though many like them. I will still buy a raw coin if it meets my discriminating tastes....That being said, I prefer the slab for authenticity and protection. However, if labels are of special interest to a collector, go for it...It is a great hobby with many, many segments of interest. Cheers, RickO
