Value of a 2019 APE? (PICTURES ADDED)

A new 2019 $100 1 oz APE just arrived in the mail today. It's a PCGS MS70 and looks great but no value shows up when I look up the cert number (37203609) so a couple of questions:
- Anyone know the best way to get a value on this one?
- Why is the reverse on the front of the slab?
- Any significance to the "Premier First Edition 1 of 25" verbiage on the back of the slab?
I own a few APEs but am not an expert on them so any help would be appreciated.
P.S. I just recently joined PCGS and this is my first post here.

The price guide is not updated in real time.
You’d have to find the prices on closed auctions on eBay for the same item. One thing is certain, don’t compare with prices of proof coins.

No idea
Never heard of “1 of 25” - wild guess is part of some way for a dealer to promote it via some false sense of scarcity.
Well, it is a "legit" PCGS label variety. Not surprisingly, all 25 graded 70.
I would assume the value to be very close to whatever this https://greatcollections.com/Coin/1141620/2019-100-One-Ounce-Platinum-American-Eagle-Liberty-First-Strike-PCGS-MS-70 ends at, unless you can find a label completist in which case it's anyone's guess.
No real premium to that label. The coin reverse is not on the front in this holder, that is the correct way to place and holder the coin with that specific label. Normally with these special labels there would be a signature label or something like that, and you want to see the date along with the special label on the same side. This particular instance just has that 1 of 25 motto. Figure the value to be around spot + $200 for that coin
Nice coin... I like the designs of the platinum and palladium coins. Have not collected them, but they are nice. No idea what that label means. Cheers, RickO

Thanks for the helpful link. The label on mine reminded me of the First Strike.
I emailed PCGS asking for additional info on the First Edition verbiage so maybe they'll have something useful for me.
You really should not be buying coins!
You don't know what the coin you bought is worth...if you actually bought the coin
You don't know how to look up the value of the coin....
You don't know the obverse from the reverse of the coin or the slab...
The obverse of the coin is mounted to the front of the slab. The coin is in a "museum slab" which means the label is at the bottom and the grade is on the back of the slab.
Price guide list the value at $1437. The last ones that sold a Heritage in Nov. 2021 sold for $1320. The Platinum valve of the coin is $1000 + or minus a few dollars.
@djm Most slabbed coins have the obverse facing the front side of the slab not all. I have a W mint quarter that is reverse of coin facing the front of the slab.

Since the cert page does not show “first strike” or “first day of issue” I would expect it to sell for less than one that does
Try to follow along here. We are talking about the OP's coin in the photos. Did you even look at the pictures?
Yes many coins have the obverse facing out, but that is not the case with the OP's coin.
What does your comment have to do with the coin being discussed?
You really should not be giving dumb@ss opinions and making yourself look stupid by jumping to so many laughable conclusions!
Try to follow along here. I paid $1,232 all in for the coin. PCGS says a regular 2019 MS70 $100 APE is worth $1,437 (FWIW, NGC says $1,900).
You don't know that a $200 profit is a good thing and that's just sad. Of course, I knew $1,437 was the floor. Maybe if you were smarter you could have figured that out without my help.
You got confused and thought I didn't know how to check the value. I was only wondering why the cert number did not have a value assigned and if the label I hadn't seen before was important.
You got confused and thought I didn't know the obverse from the reverse. That wasn't the case. Obviously, most of the coins I've seen have the obverse on the side with the PCGS grade and cert number. I'm surprised that confused you.
You don't know that no one cares what an insecure, naggy troll thinks. Please try to be less stupid in the future.
