I know what the board has said, but many collectors arent on the board, and those folks are still thinking that first strike means something magical. So are the anniversary sets going to be available with that designation?
Second question, assuming they are, what would a PCGS PR70 DCAM full 3 coin gold set be worth? I remember a buffalo going for over $5k and they were limited to a mintage of 300,000

As to price/value, it's anyones guess
I'm looking forward to the set, but I'm keeping mine in the mint box/capsules. ASEs don't seem to do well in TPG holders. Those milk spots scare me!

The Max allowed should be 2.
The regular Proof has been for sale since the beginning of the year. That would only leave the Satin "W" and the Reverse Proof as possible first strikes.
SO ANY three coin holder that states that ALL the coins are First Strike would be wayyyyy wrong.

Come to think of it, the Satin finish would have to be a MS70 coin.
If the anniversary normal proof is not different from the proof already being sold, I suppose you could pick up that First Strike slab already, then add the other two when you find them for sale. In the case of the 2000 Millennium Coin & Currency set, the ASE was nothing special and had no mint mark but PCGS does holder them as "Millennium Set". Maybe that will be the case with the Anniversary set normal proof as well. Regardless of the fact that they are already on sale as single proofs, the First Strike for the set version should be obtainable since it really has to do with the shipping within the first month of availability of the complete set.
That's my guess anyway. i.e. If there's extra $$ to be made, it will be done.

i would say yes. i once had a one-tenth oz. gold eagle in a pcgs slab stating gem brilliant but with no grade.

Money.

PCGS put thousands of coins in the World Trade Center holders. >>
They have also slabed large numbers for the the TV people or someone. Not as many as NGC has, but they have been guilty of it as well.
