Was this coin technically one of...

..the first 20k coins graded by PCGS? Not that it matters as its not a white label but I am curious if they kept going from 108xxxx on forward? Disclaimer: I bought the holder, but only because the coin is a dog

Edit: to summon @Lakesammman

I'll confess I don't know a lot about TPG labels and how PCGS assigns serial number sequences, but I see no reason to conclude that a coin with serial number "1097074" was among the first 20,000 coins graded. Where are you getting information that the slabs began with a "108" sequence?

White Label was first and PCGS says this on that link:

"In use for a week or so in mid-February 1986. All white labels are in the 1080000 series. Rare."

I do not follow labels or slabs, but the Franklin is nice..... Cheers, RickO
