I would also like to know if all the 2010 American Platinum Eagles qualify (held hostage) for the first strike or early release. Thank you.

Perhaps someone could explain why if the Mint sold PROOF Platinum Coins (10,000) the reason you would need to get them graded?? If I buy a proof coin from the Mint doesn’t that avoid the need for a grading structure? Or is there suspicion about the coin degrading in appearance if handled?
And how do they know a first strike – PCGS graded PR70 DCAM First Strike – is this another way of expressing Proof? – thank you for any input for a beginner in the field.

If the coins sold out in one week, are not all coins (first strike,early release)?
