PCGS Returns First Strike® Inserts to Collector Club Members
The Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) has announced the return of First Strike® inserts to current and future submissions for members of the PCGS Collectors Club.
Ron Guth, President of PCGS, said in an e-mail announcement Tuesday,
“The collecting community let us know loud and clear that they wanted access to the First Strike inserts. Collectors like the First Strike program and they want the opportunity to have their own coins certified.”
The new policy ends a July 1, 2008 revision that limited First Strike inserts to dealer submissions only.
Members must submit coins to PCGS in original mint-sealed packages that are postmarked within 30 days of the original release date in order to quality for the First Strike insert.
The extra $12 fee for the insert and service includes the cost of returning any mint packages.
For more information, visit the PCGS website or visit www.pcgs.com/firststrike/.
