About 150,000 coins labeled "first strike" by PCGS or NGC have been sold since Jan. 1, 2005, to collectors and investors in all 50 states, according to the lawsuits.
Lipcon, however, said PCGS previously used a definition indicating that a "first strike" was one of the first coins produced by a certain die.
NGC says it will designate a coin "first strike" if it arrives with the proper documentation at the company within the first month of release or is submitted in sealed U.S. Mint packaging at a later date.

 America's Nuclear Strategy: Defensive or First Strike?
In a US first strike, destroying an enemy’s early warning and communications satellites would hinder getting the launch command to his missiles before they are destroyed.
Yet the pinpoint accuracy of those weapons makes them deadly against extremely hard targets such as missile silos – targets which must be destroyed in a first strike before the missiles are launched.
But what is being developed would just as easily intercept enemy missiles that survived a US first strike.

In the first Clinton administration Secretary of Defense Les Aspin announced that the United States would seek the capability to undertake offensive counterproliferation strikes against proliferators of weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
He also emphasizes that preemptive or first strike attack is only one of a number of tools the U.S. possesses with which to deal with a radical state that acquires weapons of mass destruction and, as such, should be a choice of last resort.
If we include in "first strike capability" the intelligence required to identify all WMD sites for targeting in a raid, then our assessment has to be "no".

 Overlawyered: Litigious Numismatists Launch First Strike on "First Strikes"
Their spokespersons maintain that the companies' definitions of "first strike" are clear, acccurate and reasonable.
The story makes clear that any knowledgeable collector should know that "first strike" status is by and large an abstract concept: it is "first strike" because people say it is "first strike," with little or no objective correlation to the physical quality of the coin in question.
The suit is a change of pace for the plaintiff's counsel, the Miami firm of Lipcon, Margulies and Alsina, whose website emphasizes their specialty in bringing suits against cruise lines.
