Certified First Strike Coins

Browse our range of certified First Strike coins, featuring PCGS graded coins from The Royal Mint and leading world mints across gold, silver, platinum and base metals.

The First Strike designation is applied by third-party grading services such as PCGS to coins submitted for grading within the early release period following a mint’s official launch, typically within the first 30 days of issue.

First Strike coins are highly popular with collectors because they often represent early distribution pieces from a new release and are frequently combined with high-grade designations such as MS70 or PR70 DCAM, making them highly desirable in the secondary market.

Our Certified First Strike Coins collection includes:

• PCGS First Strike gold coins (Sovereigns, Britannias, commemorative issues)
• PCGS First Strike silver coins (Queen’s Beasts, Great Engravers, Music Legends)
• PCGS First Strike platinum coins (Britannia and world issues)
• Certified First Strike MS70 coins
• Certified First Strike PR70 DCAM coins
• First Strike coins across the UK and world mints
• Limited mintage, early release graded coins
• High-value investment and collector pieces
• First Strike certified sets and multi-coin releases

First Strike coins are particularly sought after when combined with top grades (MS70 / PR70), as they represent both early release status and exceptional preservation quality.
