First Day Washington Dollars available graded?

In this auction First Day Wash it says that only coins sent on Feb 15 qualify and that the grade will be BU. Is this the only way of getting an official first day slab? Or will there be First day slabs with actual grades?

I would like a 66 or 67 or maybe a 68 for my collection in a first day issue if that is something pcgs will be doing. Anyone know for sure?

    There will be graded examples available. Low graded coins had the option to still be slabbed as a Gem BU.

    They should be hitting the bay in about 1 week.

    Yes there will be 1st day of issue with a numerical grade.

    Stay away from that auction though. With a name like that. image

    They are doing bu with that slab and most of them will be like that BU/MS65,If you can get 66 and up it will be priced high go luck.

    I'm anxious to see some grades on these bulk submissions. Do they post grades for bulk on the website like other orders?

    That's my auction.

    Feb 15 has nothing to do with grade, it is only important for the "First Day of Issue" designation.

    Is it clear that what I'm selling is BU coins? I've gotten a couple of questions about that.

    Funny thing is, I havn't sold a single coin. The guy whose auction expired this morning sold 134 coins...he didn't mention grade at all. I wonder what his customers think they're getting...

    Hey Jerry, your action is perfectly clear to me, kudos for a well worded auction that is in no doubt as to what you are bidding on.



    << <i>Doesn't look like a slab that I'd waste my money on. >>



    Waste of money? That is always a matter of opinion. I work (one of my jobs) for a school district as an IT tech, and I give out odd coins (odd to the kids) all the time as birthday rewards, or for whatever. Sakies, state quarters, whatever. I will be bidding on a couple of his slabs for the simple fact I can carry it around and educate the kids on what the new dollar coins are. That slab is perfect.. if it gets dropped, cracked, whatever I am not out anything, and it keeps their sticky dirty fingers off the coin. The insert is absolutley beautiful and educational.

    Heck, gonna bid on three right now and pay for em, see you all later.

    Just got my first purchases. I guess everything is ok.

    Thanks for looking at my auctions and thanks for confirming that it is clear what I'm selling. I worry a lot that a typo will make me look dishonest.

    Bingo! I am looking to get 1-2 in the slab. That is ONLY because I think the slab would be cool from a kid's POV.

    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

    I just bought one from Your E-bay page!
    Will You have the "P" any time soon? Also, Will You continue to have these Pres. coins in slabs as they come out?
    Thanks granpagraf

    Thanks. Yes, I have the P's but I'm not putting up a preauction until I get a better idea when they will be coming back from PCGS. As for the future, I like the coins and I'm good with volume sales so I do indeed plan to keep doing them. I'm 50 so I can't guarantee I'll still be doing this at the end of the series but I have young kids so it's very likely.

    I did the same! listed no Grade will have first day issue on holder sold some and I price them at your price. I have Denvers! P.M ME if you would like to swap some so we can have some sets,

  • I'm a little suprised even more have not been sold for under $20 bucks. I guess 64 and up will bring $30 +. I may go for a couple of D's.
