In reply to Domenic Vaiasicca. Morgan and Peace Dollars round two. Next the Mint will start minting flowing hair, draped bust and seated liberty coins. LOL. :-D

From what I can tell all std versions of the Silver Eagles are available to be purchased by the Numi-bulk buyers, much to the chagrin of the US Mint & TPG deniers around here. I don’t think that they get white FS, or any white labels? I’ve never seen a white First Strike Label. They are blue at the top–blended/faded to white at the bottom(currently)..
The bulk buyers pay $14 per coin to be graded, cheaper than a regular Joe(me). The bulk buyers pay $18 per coin for First Strike designation, no cheaper than Joe/me. What is not known (to me)is the price per coin that the Numi-bulk buyers pay. My guess is that they pay much less per coin than retail.
Did PCGS ever make a white label? Yes, year #1 of their enterprising, capitalistic, and deplorable venture. Back in 1986. That’s my amateur take…..

Just my opinion Cali,
I think there are no white PCGS First Strike labels. The exception would be those special labels with a signature, the Air Force, and those ‘Struck At’ labels. However the 2 latter labels have a colored bar(25%) at the top.
The label that you posted above is a faded label(7 yrs). There’s some leftover blue ink on the top, L&R perimeters–Take a look below–Same exact coin as above, just bigger.

I’ve given up on all the ASE’s, proof and and unc sets. No commemoratives for past few years….. only way to afford the Morgan and Peace.

In reply to CaliSkier. I never receive first strike, PF70, cameo coins. That's for the favored bulk dealers.

Does anyone out there have “First” hand knowledge of how slabbed prices will or might vary? I noticed that a “2024-W Proof $1 American Silver Eagle PCGS PR70DCAM FS(First Strike) Flag Label” can be purchased for just, $119.95.(FREE Shipping)The listings I’ve seen for the “S” Mint marked version, are currently priced at $139.95-$145. The “W” version for $119.95 appears to be a pretty good price, since an ungraded version can be p/u mint direct, for $100.95, including shipping, US mint direct. Unless you subscribed or have qualified for the Mints “Loyalty” program, of course. Question, should we expect or will we see, either the W versions go up or a slight price decrease on the S versions. I ask, as we or many are aware, the “First Strike” labels do seem to fetch a little more on the secondary market, than the other generic(non-flag labels) or even, those plethora of “other” available label options? Also, I’ve tried to drill down, however I’ve noticed some of the “First Strike Flag Labels” from PCGS are blue(background) and some are white(background, with the exact same verbiage. Does this get offered as an option? Are certain colored labels indicative of a bulk vs private submission. Any links showing or describing the label options I’m inquiring about would be useful and or appreciated. Thanks, Cali PS Attached pic shows the “white” label or paper, and I’ve seen blue paper(label) with the same details?
