The couple of followup questions got answered correctly. Yes, they were first strike, and yes, I submitted them by set, not by type.
The only interesting part of submitting in person at FUN was, we had a runaway. When we opened the two sets from the sealed box, one set was perfect (and really looked good, by the way), the other had four coins and an empty plastic case. I kid you not, the plastic case was sitting in its slot, closed, with no coin in it.
Finally found the loose coin (it was the burnished W) under the COA card, at the bottom of the box. Still made a 69, so running around loose in the box didn't mess it up. Have no idea how the coin case remained intact after losing the coin.
Hmmmmm. Seeing baddogss' results makes me want to submit my other sealed box of two sets. Three out of four 70's on the keys is awesome. And 60% 70's overall.
Got my submission back from PCGS a few weeks ago....been on a roadtrip so I'll post the results now. Submitted 5 sets....(early ship date from the Mint)
Definitely disappointed that I didn't get more keys in 70. I need a 2011-S FS to round out my set of 70s.
Though to be honest, most of my 2011-S Flags are nicer coins than the Tombstone PCGS 2011-S MS70 that I got earlier. The latter has several "speckles" in the finish. What gives?

There seems to be a shift in the 2011 nmm grades. When there was "hope" of a 100,00 mintage of the no mint mark. It seems that PCGS in the early part of grading these graded very low......and now it seems that no 100,000 coin they grade very high...............

Hmm. I was actually surprised that some of the nmm 70s got that grade. A few of the 2011-S 69s looked better IMO. The nmms seemed liberally graded, the S-marks conservatively. The rest seemed about right.

They were part of a larger submission and I think I did pretty good.
I missed out on being able to put together a complete MS/PR70 set for myself by one coin.
