2006 20th ANNIVERSARY GOLD AND SILVER EAGLES
Effective September 26, 2006
To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the American Eagle Coin Program in 2006, the U.S. Mint created three new set options for sale to collectors, as follows:
1. American Eagle 20th Anniversary Gold Coin Set, containing:
a. 2006-W $50 Proof – identical to the coins issued earlier this year.
b. 2006-W $50 Reverse Proof – a completely new style for Proof coins, with frosted fields and brilliant devices.
c. 2006-W $50 Mint State – the first with the “W” mintmark
Limited edition of 10,000 sets, already sold out, and with the first shipments on 9/25/06.
2. American Eagle 20th Anniversary Silver Coin Set, containing:
a. 2006-W $1 Proof – identical to the coins issued earlier this year.
b. 2006-P $1 Reverse Proof - a completely new style for Proof coins, with frosted fields and brilliant devices.
c. 2006-W $1 Mint State – the first with the “W” mintmark
Limited edition of 250,000 sets, still available as of 9/25/06, expected to begin shipping mid-October
3. American Eagle 20th Anniversary Gold & Silver Set, containing:
a. 2006-W $1 Mint State – the first with the “W” mintmark
b. 2006-W $50 Mint State – the first with the “W” mintmark
Limited edition of 20,000 sets, still available as of 9/25/06, expected to begin shipping mid-October
PCGS will offer special First Strike/20th Anniversary Set inserts for these coins subject to the following special limitations:
1. All coins must be submitted in the original, unopened Mint packaging as received from the Mint within 30 days of the original release date (check with our Bulk Department for exact dates). Because the 2006-W $50 Proof and 2006-W $1 Proof coins were already issued earlier this year, the packaging must remain unopened for these coins to qualify for these special inserts.
2. Individual submissions of coins 1b, 1c, 2b, 2c, 3a, and 3b (see above) will qualify for First Strike/20th Anniversary Set inserts as long as they are received within 30 days of their original release dates.
3. Individual submissions of coins 1a and 2a will not qualify for First Strike/20th Anniversary Set inserts.
4. Depending on when the various sets begin shipping, there may be some time overlap between coins 1c and 3a (the 2006-W $1 Mint State) and 2c and 3b (the 2006-W $50 Mint State). In case of overlap, the time “window” for the First Strike designation on one or more of the sets may be limited to the time left in the 30 day period for the sets that are shipped first.
Example: if the 3-piece gold coin set begins shipping on September 25th, the cutoff date for First Strikes will be October 24th. Subsequently, if the 2-piece set begins shipping on October 10th, the cutoff date for First Strikes will be October 24th instead of November 9th.
Following the expiration of any First Strike/20th Anniversary Set dates, PCGS will continue to designate coins from the 20th Anniversary Sets as long as the coins are received in the original, unopened, Mint packaging.
When individual Reverse Proof and W-mintmarked coins are released in the future, they may qualify under the First Strike program but not for the 20th Anniversary Set designation. Guidance for these coins will be developed as more information becomes available.
The First Strike/20th Anniversary Set inserts are available to PCGS Authorized Dealers under the Bulk Program. PCGS Collectors Club members may request First Strike/20th Anniversary Set inserts for individual coins by adding $10 per coin to the regular grading/service fee. All Collectors Club submissions must go through the Bulk Department.
Upon request, PCGS will return the original boxes and paperwork to the submitter at the submitter’s expense.
The following is a complete listing of coins that PCGS will recognize from this series (each coin will receive a separate coin number):
2006-W American Eagle Gold $50 Proof – 20th Anniversary Set – First Strike

Gee, didn't see that one coming.
Russ, NCNE
<< <i>So what does First Strike mean? >>
by adding $10 per coin I think there is your answer!
<< <i>Hi Ron!

Hi Russ
So, I take it this means these will be REGISTRY coins...which should help propel the reverse proofs esp due to the low mintages! Yeeha!
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

You'll probably have no takers on the 'set'.
HERE's why:
All my set came in 1 box.
I opened box. As I'm sure most people will.
We're not eligable.
If I didn't open the box, apperantly I would have to have all sets graded !!!

Yep.... cha-CHING!!! $$$$$
(more gradings=more $$$, and this is most likely meant for dealers not collectors who have to pay more and jump through an extra hoop)

IMHO First strike in nonsense on the reverse proof.

<< <i>has anyone submitted sealed boxes and asked for the mint packaging back? Do they send the coin capsules, box and COA back to you. I would consider doing this for the chance at proof 70 first strike designation. If they come back at pf69, i think i would want crack em out and place them back in the set. >>
Mine are already at PCGS. You MUST specificly ask for the packaging back and generally I'm told they will give you the capsule back but I didn't ask for that.
--Jerry
<< <i>Really, why would any of the normal proofs in the anniversary sets be considered First Strike (they've been available for quite some time now)? >>
These First Strikes will have a "20th Anniversary Set" designation.

The two new coins (Reverse Proof and W-Mint Unc) are still eligible for the 20th Anniversary Set - First Strike designation as long as we receive the coins, or if the package is postmarked) before the 30 day period elapses.

<< <i>2006-W Silver Eagle $1 Proof – 20th Anniversary Set >>
Kind of confusing with this one, wonder if it is going to look similiar? just add the "set"
SNMAN
1. Will each coin in the set receive its own grade or will the set as a whole receive the grade of the weakest coin? I assume each coin will be slabbed separately. I will be submitting a few sets in hopes of a complete set of 70s. I guess what would make a 70 set most valuable is if the three coins had consecutive PCGS numbers (dream on), otherwise I can hope for at least a 70 of each coin somewhere in the bunch.
2. "All coins must be submitted in the original, unopened Mint packaging as received from the Mint."
I ordered 10 sets (along with other mint products) and may not send them all in for grading. Do you know if each set is contained in its own individual mint packaging? I would sure like to open an outer carton to see what else they shipped without voiding any chance a the First Strike. Also, wouldn't I need to open an outer carton to toss in my PCGS order forms?

and silver, for the silver set. The label for the sets should be destinct
and different from any other labels. Perhaps the entire label should
be in gold or silver color, as long as it wont tone the coins.

Good to see you here and onboard. Question: Will you (or David...or SOMEONE) be reviving the Q&A forum where these types of questions should go?
btw....I don't mind your post here at all, but a lot of the follow up questions may have already been asked in the Q&A forum but never posted/answered.....

All my coins came in one box. Nothing is sealed inside. Just a bunch of gold boxes you've seen in the pictures. I don't see anyway around getting the 'set' designation without sending in all your sets.

Read carefully, the set designation isn't voided by opening the box, just the First Strike.
If you ordered 10 sets you would have to send them all in for FS. But you could only pay for as many FS's as you want. Or if you only want 1 of the 10 graded, I'm sure they'll send the other 9 back. Handling $26K of coins is no big deal for them--they'll just charge you for insurance.
As for the submission form: I guess you'll either have to use one of those stick-on envelopes or double box.
--Jerry
The tricky part is that I order a lot from the mint and I have no way of knowing which boxes (I have two orders of 5 sets each) have the anniversary sets. I'd hate to send in a bunch of coin rolls with an order form for eagles! But I'm excited, this is gonna be fun. Ain't had fun in a while! I do want the FIRST STRIKE designation, never had one of those before.
Capital investment depends on confidence. - Martin Armstrong
I don't really care about the First Strike Designation, but I wonder if PCGS will designate the Gold Anniversary set as such if I send them in.
Unfortunately, I always open my packages to ensure that what was sent according to my order. Will PCGS designate the coins as the 20th Anniversary coin set? Or did I ruin my chance for that when I opened up the package? (It was sent before the date that the mint specified, and I wasn't sure until I opened the Fed-Ex box)
Thanks
Any way of getting the First Strike designation and still allow us to verify what the mint sent us before we ship it on to PCGS? What about the order form included in the mint shipment that shows the date and time the mint shipped it. Ain't no telling what else might be in those boxes when they get to PCGS.
Capital investment depends on confidence. - Martin Armstrong
1. Outstanding execution getting the rules CLEARLY stated up front on these special 20th Anniversary coins.
2. Outstanding recognition of the need to give the Regular Proof Gold and Silver Eagles separate coin numbers from these sets to not interfere with the prior release of those coins earlier this year.
3. Well thought out conditions and rules to ensure the integrity of the PCGS First Strike brand.
When things are so clearly spelled out for the collectors and dealers it really helps!
Wondercoin
I don't see where is says you can get a 2006-W American Eagle Gold $50 Proof – 20th Anniversary Set designation without having a sealed box. The First Strike is spelled out, but not the 20th Anniversary Set designation for the Regular Proof .

Sorry, You're right but I was told it is the FS designation that is compromised by the open box, that might be wrong but I don't think so. --Jerry
<< <i>Yep, except that this is just a day late for those that already received their sets this morning and opened them already
I think the mint shipped early and caused this guidance to be a few hours late (although earlier than the expected ship date). --Jerry

You could always get your box xrayed if you know anyone who works in Radiology
OK, so this is the way I see it.
If I send in all my Reverse Proofs and UNC "W" , I'll get FS and 20th. If I request to get the capsule back PCGS will send it back. Correct ??? Or should I put the coins in a flip to send to PCGS.
My Regular Proof is worthless because I can't get FS or 20th on it.
