Is grading of GAE necessary

At this point First Strike and other designations expired. Is it
economically necessary or advisable to have two (2) opened
sets of GAE graded? Do you think it increases or decreases their
value? Regards, Michael

Not necessarily. If sealed, the coins may still be eligible for the designation if the receipt is dated prior to the cutoff.

If you score 70's it would increase their value even without the designation.

According to PCGS Customer Service, the box must have been sent and postmarked by the 24th. The receipt inside has no bearing on first strike unless the sealed box is sent by the 24th which has already passed.
If I were you I would put the sealed sets on Ebay if you still want to make a good profit, because people are still paying a premium for them, assuming wanted to sell them.

If the coins are in the original sealed mint packaging and the post mark from the fulfillment center is on or before the cut off date you can still receive the designations. If you have opened the packages and the cut off date is past, you can not get the first strike.

PCGS must be giving out different info. I'll have to call them back because I was told the sealed box had to be postmarked regardless of what the receipt inside says.

Regarding these sets we are going by the postmark.
Are you referring to the customer invoice in your package? If so, we are not going by the date ordered or the date the invoice was printed, we are only going by the date shipped.

Is there a time limit? .....like a year or 2 years?
Thanks in advance,

From my understanding, there is no time limit ever,as long as the postmark from the mint is 10/24/06 or before, however they may no longer produce the 1st strike/ 20th anniversary set inserts.
