During 2006, NGC used the term "first strikes" for U.S. bullion coinage shipped from the U.S. Mint within the first month of their official release. This designation is no longer in use by NGC. First strike designated coins are still eligible for inclusion in the NGC Registry and are reported individually on the NGC Census.
