    I don’t know what they will do with the FS and even more FDOI.

    It was once first received by pcgs, I think. It could have been first shipped but how do they know when that was. Which is why we’re wondering how they will handle the peace and Morgans

    I do not know for sure.
    That said, they appear to have a plan in place.

    Examples of future APMEX offerings:
    CC Privy - FDOI
    CC Privy - FS

    I stand corrected. You are right! First received started the clock.... remember the guy (I believe he is/was a member here) who received his UHR and submitted it while the Mint said none had shipped...The Chinese Book printing recall? They had to restart the clock or there would only have been 1 First Strike elegible coin.

    "UNOPENED" yes as long as it was shipped by the mint during the First Strike Window. Only PCGS allows this. I still have sealed boxes from 10 years ago, that I will likely never submit.

    It was a member here

    He sold his ASAP for what? Was it 10k or 100k

    Eventually the mint shipped without the book and sent the book later.

    A seemingly much more nimble mint than today.

    It's best not to guess, go straight to the authority. They will verify the First Strike window also.

    I would check with your local PO. I thought I had heard all the possibilities in the way of questions about these ase’s. Good luck. If you have someone you deal regularly talk to them. Sounds like if it’s possible to have a problem, these find it.
    I guess will still they forward. Please ask and let us know. Thanks

    Did they say how much the 2 coin slab is, and how to indicate that option on the submission form?

    My SF type 2 has a spot on the surface by the artists' initials. It's dark too. I hope it tones. I can't return and I'm disappointed.

    So sorry to hear that @Kdennison. It makes you question the quality control at the Mint.

    I'm sorry it took so long to get some photos but here you all go. At this point I hope maybe it'll turn in to a dark tone across the coin.

    The word "this" in my post is a hyperlink.
    Click it, and it will redirect you to a PCGS article about two-coin holders.
    The article includes information about cost, and completing the submission form.

    Note - With the exception of "Secure Plus" now being "Gold Shield", the rep I spoke with said that it was still accurate.

    Not only is shipping and ordering a fiasco, now they're quality control has gone down as well. Gotta love the mint. I was gonna keep mine sealed but now I don't know, might have to open them and check for hideous defects.

    YaHoo - delivered. No spots but a tiny nick on one of the sun's rays so no use sending for a 70 grade. Best I could do with the pics as I'm not taking then out of the capsules but just to show I finally got them!!!!!!!!

    Why not?

    They tend to sell out quickly and the mint usually has no problem canceling the order. Then you get to wait until the refund is approved.
    On these special offerings you get what you get or sell and upgrade. Thanks

    I have looked the last few mornings and I have not seen a blip of availability. The web browser checking and the new "submit" pop-up for every refresh adds more delay and a guy could miss that two second window.
