I'd think there were "test" slabs assembled to prove the whole process worked (receiving to shipping) before the first officially graded ones were done, probably using low value stuff like ratty 84-O Morgans or even circulation coins.

Would be a great question for Don Willis to answer....if indeed there is an answer...Well, there will be an answer... could be no one knows at this time...or, there could be a record.

It would likely be worth more as the first slab than as an upgrade.

How would one prove it was first?

True. But there still had to be a "first".

I'm guessing it was a DMPL Morgan, maybe a particularly awesome one in a date/mm that doesn't show up as DMPL often.
Either that or an S-VDB Linc in particularly high grade.
