Effective August 19, 2008,
First StrikeŽ inserts will once again be made available to members of the PCGS
Collectors Club. This reverses a policy that went into effect on July 1, 2008,
under which First StrikeŽ inserts were limited to dealer submissions. "The collecting
community let us know loud and clear that they wanted access to the First StrikeŽ
inserts", said Ron Guth, PCGS President. "Collectors like the First StrikeŽ program
and they want the opportunity to have their own coins certified." The revised
policy applies only to current and future submissions. Collectors Club members
may submit their coins under the qualifying service level for that coin type and
value with payment of the appropriate grading fees, plus an additional $12 per
coin to cover the cost of the special, First StrikeŽ insert. The extra fee includes
the cost of returning the mint packaging to the customer. To qualify for the First
StrikeŽ insert, all submissions must be received by PCGS or sent in a mint-sealed
package postmarked within 30 days of the original release date (see the PCGS website
at www.pcgs.com/customer_service_update.chtml
for deadline dates). First StrikeŽ coins should be submiited separately from non-First
StrikeŽ coins. For further information about the First StrikeŽ program, visit
www.pcgs.com/firststrike or call
a PCGS Customer Service representative at 800-447-8848.
