Can anyone tell me how many coins were encapsulated by PCGS in the very beginning. According to the museum of holders PCGS started in February 1986 using version 1.0 and then transition to version 1.1 but that was only till mid February. Those two styles of holders that were produced during that approx 2 week time period were white and very plain looking.
By the end of February 1986 and after barely 1 month of operation PCGS transition to the version 1.2 holder and the insert color was changed to pale green.
My question is how many holders were released by PCGS with the white insert versions 1 and 1.1 ?
Does anyone have a wild guess.
Thanks

    Probably ballpark - but how did you come up with those numbers??

    My guess is cert numbers. Though we do know there is commingling of the insert types. So ballparks as good as you get probably.

    This is not the first time that this question was asked and answered on this board.

    The search function on this board sucks, but I took the numbers from when you opined on this long ago. I see no reason to doubt your conclusions.

    Thanks that’s the first time I’ve heard anybody try to quantify this. We’re only talking about a two week. Pretty much for the version 1.0 and 1.1 according to PCGS. The first versions supposedly started in the 1080000 serial number range as I recall, seems like a very random place to start lol.
    The PCGS holder museum list the first two as rare so I have been collecting them for sometime regardless of the coin type and only in MS
    To me it just seemed like kind of a cool thing to do.
    Thanks everyone

    correction all white card insert holders are in the 1080000 range.
    And are considered very rare by PCGS.
