Thanks!

I haven't decided who I am submitting to but I will submit some for both personal use and resale
If you keep them sealed there is no hurry.
@JimTyler have I misinterpreted this:
"Submit the coins in the original unopened shipping box from the U.S. Mint with a postmark date prior to the specified PCGS cutoff date."
I thought that this meant no later than 2.25.19? https://www.pcgs.com/firststrike

I've always thought "First Strike" coins are better-struck because the dies aren't worn.
Well, it seems that advantage does NOT apply to the 5oz Apollo 11 because the dies wear-out so quickly.
"Die life... is short, averaging 1,500 strikes per obverse die and 750 per reverse, and each coin is struck three times."
