PCGS will offer a First Strike® option for Proof Presidential Dollar coins
submitted to PCGS within the 30 day period following the official release date
or sent to PCGS in sealed packages postmarked on or before the deadline date.
The Mint’s announced release date for the first set of four Presidential
Proof coins is July 5, making August 3 the tentative First Strike® deadline.
However, both dates are subject to change depending on the date the Mint actually
releases the sets.
First Strike® coins feature a special insert that is different from both the
normal, blue PCGS insert and the colorful inserts designed for the Presidential
Dollar series.
First Strike® coins may be submitted under any service level. A $10 surcharge
is added per coin for the First Strike® insert. Special pricing is available
through the PCGS Bulk Department for quantities of 25 or more sets.
First Strike® submissions may not be combined with any non-First Strike®
coins.
For additional information about submitting your coins to the Professional
Coin Grading Service, please contact a Customer Service Representative at (800)
447-8848 or visit the PCGS website at www.pcgs.com. Contact the PCGS Bulk Department
at (949)-567-1216.
The First Strike® designation is a proprietary trademark of PCGS used to
designate coins packaged and delivered by the U.S. Mint in the 30 day period
following the initial sales date of a new product. For more information about
