Has anyone else ever received their own PCGS Coin Number? I scored a Top pop VAM with it's number!

Texast

I just got the grades in on an 1896 Morgan VAM 19 Top 100 back from PCGS it has it's own number, 43871, MS63PL Pop 1/1, the second highest with a mirror finish is 43872 in MS62DM also a pop 1/0, all the others graded for the VAM 19 total 31 in MS (2 MS61, 4 MS62, 10 MS63, 11 MS64, 4 in MS65, none higher)

Would the fact that it is Proof Like and a 1/0 Population be more desirable in a Registry Set than a higher grade Mint State?

Has anyone ever received their own PCGS Coin Number?

Yes. I successfully lobbied PCGS to assign a separate coin number to the 1837 issuance of the 1836 Gobrecht ['second original'] - for a time my coin was the only specimen.

If I remember right I had the first 1858 over 1858 half dime (the vg coin) about a month later the second coin came along. This was over four years ago and the pop still remains at only two.

Yes...several months ago I had a 1971-S DDO Proof Cent come back with a unique number that was considered a subset of the original number. When I asked customer service they told me (after 5+ minutes on hold) it was because the doubling was different than the others they had graded...

I couldn't see the difference... but then, I'm not a 'perfesionel' grader

Congrats to you all, that's pretty neat.

No. They are PCGS's coin numbers. I have submitted a few varieties that were recongnized by PCGS and assigned new numbers (390317 & 390316).

I have a number of those. It is just what PCGS does for a PL or DMPL for a variety they do. It isn't recognizing some new VAM, just administratively separating the PL and DMPL examples into their own pops. That has not always been the case. Early in the VAM attribution, these were getting hte normal, common date PL or DMPL and putting them into the registry was a hassle.

What is cool is not so much having a new number but having the only PCGS certified prooflike for that variety. Since that VAM is based on a feature present in the die from the beginning, I suspect more PLs will follow. I have a doubled eyelid one like that, the only DMPL....but there are surely more out there.
