To First Strike or not to First Strike (2006-W's)

renman95

I'm sending out some gold and plat unc W's...should I first strike them. Seems ridicuous due to the ultra low mintages. However, do some collectors need these designations for their Registry Sets?

Any extra printing or flags or anniversary designations or autographs ALWAYS makes the coin inside worth more. Get with the program pal

You're right....I'm so stupid.

Well, my point of view is:

1. "First Strike" is not accurate. All the W platinums could be "first strike".

2. It's already controversial.

3. One other big grading service has backed off from this designation and replaced it with something else.

I know I could make more money, probably, by sending in my W's right away and getting them "First Strike", but I have to look at myself in the mirror and like the person I'm looking at, and I think just getting them graded will be sufficient. Besides, then there isn't the time pressure to send them all in. I can get them graded when I want to.

Soooooo Wrong. ONLY 1 coin off of a die set can be a "first strike"!!! Everything els is a subsequent strike.

You do understand that the quotes mean I'm using someone else's definition of "first strike", right?
