And then submit it for First Strike...........................its all in the postmark otherwise how could you account for those 1991 1992 and 1997 First Strike ASE's on Ebay?
I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
With early reports of milk spotting problems, I decided to open them for inspection.
Imagine how you would feel if you sent your unopened shipment to PCGS for First Strike designation and the coins were all spotted? No thanks. At that point you can't send them back to the mint and you are out the grading fees.

Since I anticipated some of this a couple of months ago, I split my order into 2 (5 sets each). I opened 1 box (5 sets) and think I will send the other (unopened fedex box of 5 sets) off to PCGS.
I also may submit a few of my RP from the opened sets (the ones that I can find no flaws with and PCGS will likely PR69 them).
Then, I may keep 1 set slabbed and sell the rest. I will also likely sell some of my opened sets. I have another 10 ordered (co-worker used his info to order for me).
Sleep on it then try to walk away, thus selling it, without the regret or longing of how it could have been. How much sweeter the last one could have been if you would have treated it like the first. Or versa visa. Miles

The name is LEE!
My icon IS my coin. It is a gem 1949 FBL Franklin.

My digital cameo album 1950-64 Cameos - take a look!

So, I think I am trying to cover all bases
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
Yes, gaze upon the gorgeous wrapping paper, admire the wonderous postmark, and praise the lovely opaque box!
