The Advance Release designation is the best in all of numismatics. Advance Release coins are released in very small quantities and are graded before coins that qualify for First Day of issue, First Strike or First Releases are even released to the public.
These coins are produced on brand new highly polished coin dies that yield the best and sharpest strike and display the brightest and most dazzling original mint luster.
