Presidential Dollars -- WU'D I Miss??

Browsing the "What If" scenario's, I came across this:



What the Heck is a "First Day of Mintage" coin??

BTW, this only appears on the Washington and Adams Presidential Dollar coins.

That is an interesting question. My guess, and it is only a guess; The Washington's were the first FDOI's slabbed. PCGS may have made an early adjustment and changed the name from mintage to issue. Not sure why they would change the coin number.

If I did not know better I would agree with you but the First Day of Mintage number is "higher" than the First Day of Issue number and I do not recall seeing this particular designation in previous "What If" scenarios.

Additionally, I've done bulk submissions on Monroe and Madison Fiorst Day coin covers yet that designation does not show up in either of those series.

I never saw it come up before either. I guess an email to the PCGS registry ladies will get the real answer.

I've done this along with posting it on the Q & A Forum and the US Coin Forum.

I'd like to think I pay close attention to whats occuring but as my daddy used to say:

There are three kinds of People in thei World.

Those that MAKE things happen

Those that WATCH things happen

And those that "Wonder What Happened"!


Today, I fell into that third slot!

Coin 151027 does not (really) exist. No one missed anything I believe.

The PCGS Registry Team responded that the coin # 151027 was a "DUplicate" number and has been deleted but it still shows up as having 2 coins assigned to it.

I replied back to check out these numbers as well:

151025 2007-P Washington “First Day of Mintage” – Position A (Pop of 2 in MS65)

151026 2007-P Washington “First Day of Mintage” – Position B (Pop of 2 in MS65)

151028 2007-D Washington “First Day of Mintage” – Position B (Pop of 2, 2 in MS64 and 1 in MS65)

151031 2007-P Adams “First Day of Mintage” – Position A (Pop of 1 in MS63)

151032 2007-P Adams “First Day of Mintage” – Position B (Pop of 2, 1 in MS63 and 1 in MS65)

151029 2007-D Adams “First Day of Mintage” – Position A (Pop of 2 in MS64)

151030 2007-D Adams “First Day of Mintage” – Position B (Pop of 1 in MS64)

According to PCGS's Web Page:

3. U.S. Mint Official American Presidency $1 Coin Cover Series. These are First Day of Issue Covers sold by the U.S. Mint, each containing two coins (one from Philadelphia, one from Denver), both from the first day of production. The holder is stamped and postmarked on the official first day of issue (see below). Coins will be removed from the holder and graded separately. The original shipping boxes need not be sealed, but the covers must be submitted intact and unopened. A minimum of 50 covers may be submitted through the Bulk Submissions program. PCGS is currently developing an option for encapsulating the entire cover. PCGS does not offer a First Day of Mintage (or Production) option.

remind PCGS that all of those need to be deleted as well

This situation has been corrected and those First Day of Mintage coin numbers no longer exists.
