First Strike Coins

Posted January 28th, 2009.

 First Strike PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) has used the term as a trade market since 2008 so other coin grading services use the term “early release”.  First strike coins are those released within the first 30 days of a series. These coins are can be found through reputable online dealers, online auctions and local coin dealers.  These First Strike designated coins have been bringing premium prices at various outlets so investing in them seems to be a wise move for investors and/or collectors.  The value of these coins is usually well known and if kept in their pristine condition should increase in their value over the years.
