What's the oldest serial number coin you own?

I was looking at my quarters last night and the serial number on this old fatty caught my eye. I don't think I realized how low it is in relation to the current numbers. What is the lowest one you own?

Lowest number doesn’t necessarily equate to oldest.

Perhaps you might add NGC or PCGS to the title of your discussion so you find the answer to your question. I'll remind you that there were several TPGS around long before 1986 and their products had serial numbers.

I had a Cheerio's Sac with a low cereal number.

A couple from the pre-slab days.....

This is my PCGS slab with the lowest number. It's a rattler with number 01108758.

This number is even lower:

I have no idea who Bruce Turner is. The coin now lives in a PCGS F12 holder.

Back when I was in Washington State, I would scroll through the fleaBay listings in the morning as I was riding the exercise bike. I stole those out from under Bob Paul...

However, your A00005 is an ANACS label, while these are Amos days.

Given the way the database is loaded with the XXnnnn -> nnnnnn conversions, this has to be a conscious decision to use the #s in-between the mappings (nnnn, 7nnnn, etc.) it just doesn't make a lot of sense.
