first release vs. early release

4 posts in this topic

I am going to send my 2018 proof palladium coin in for grading and label. 

Can anyone tell me the difference between "first release" & "early release".  Is one or the other more valuable or desirable? 

Any other advice for sending my first coin to NGC?

The early and first release designations are available for select coins that are received at our facility within 30 days of being struck by the mint. It is personal preference as to which wording the submitter may use but they describe the same designation.

Yes, the early and first release designations can still be attributed as long as the coin is received at our facility by Monday, October 8th. For some sets, we request that coins are sent to NGC in the original shipping box to receive the proper set designations as some coins may not be unique to the set.
