06-W Plat. coins FS eligible

levinll

Buying a sealed box. Are these still eligible to receive 1st strike designation ? if so, do I have to leave the coins in the original box that they came in from the mint ?

The sealed box was indeed a requirement for the FS designation after the initial 30 day period had passed, but I do not know if PCGS is still putting that label on current submissions - it seems like they still should. A question for customer service.

Personally, I still don't understand the mystique associated with the FS label, especially since the Mint has stated that there is no way to determine the order that these coins were struck. If PCGS wanted to provide a real service, they would evaluate the actual strike, but that might cause even more controversy, mightn't it?

Yes

Yes

Leave them in the original box.

Do not open.

Send them sealed

Edit: only if the date on the box is elligible for First Strike.

Type2

Hope you get a 70 that will be nice.
