FirstStike: American Eagle 20th Anniversary Gold Coin Set

If I send an extra $30 to PCGS can I get the first FirstStike set and will it be worth a it's weight in gold?

Comments

  • ummm...I am relatively new..but I think the gold set IS worth its weight in gold already with out the bogus FS.

    Just a thought.

    It CAN"T happen. The regular Proofs have been on sale since the first of the year. Your wayyyyy past first strike on those.

    That is exactly correct. One of the (3) coins - the regular proof $50 Gold Eagle has already had its First Strike time period expire much earlier this year. However, the other (2) Gold coins would appear to be "fair game" for a FS designation I believe.

  • I'm not sure about the first strike thing with the proof since this one will have the W mint mark on it... may still be eligible for 1st strike... if they allow for this special set.

    How many three coin sets are to be minted? I think they all will be first strikes for the two new issues. So why waste the $30.image

    First strike? How about "First Day", "Second Day" and which one of the two will have the lowest mintage.

    And then there is the "AM", "PM".

    OMG what if you could get it certified with the time and date it was ordered!!

    I am going to request a Last Strike™ designation on mine. Then, I will have something that is truly rare/original.

    Now that's an idea you should patent!
  • Are the silver sets sold out? I recieved an email from the mint this morning offering them.
  • 3 piece silver and two piece set(gold/silver) are still available according to mint website
