You're missing two enthusiastic and commited bidders. (28 bids spread amongst 8 bidders)

One in particular bid 16 different times driving the price over $100. The under bidder submitted 3 individual bids which only increased his max bid as he was always in the lead.

This probably led the winner into believing he had to drop a thermo-nuclear snipe which he did with 3 seconds left on the clock.

Does it mean that all the 0000000 sample slabs will end this high?

IMO, No.

buy the slab not the coin

first proof Ive seen in a sample slab.

This slab contains a proof coin, not the very popular and widely available MS variety. As such, they are very rare, much rarer than doilies (sorry, Drunner).

That is a PCGS 1.1 (proof dime). Quite rare to find one now. 2nd earliest of the 4 'Rattler' type samples and hard to come by. They indicate the sample first given out as PCGS became a viable entity and the 00000.00/0000000 serial is what was used in the PCGS 1.0 and 1.1 samples.

I can't speak to the value but I believe it is as Lee has mentioned . . . two bidders who really wanted it. However, anytime one of these comes up on eBay I would expect it to go for a solid amount. I think $100-$150 would be conservative.

Oreville will speak to this later and he is the one who can flesh out many pertinent details, and correct me where I may have erred.

Oh, and Wings . . . I believe you are right. I can find Doily samples almost anywhere, but a 00000 Rattler has eluded me! Great history here . . . :-)

Thanks, D.

BTW - have you ever seen a doily sample dime with the word "Sample" centered on the label (all the other ones are left-justified)?

I have!

PS: Don't bother looking at sampleslabs.com because it isn't listed.
