Earliest PCGS Serial Number on a Coin You Own??

Coppercolor · April 14, 2014 9:52AM

If memory serves me I have one at about 0850000 or something like that. I'll have to check the SDB

I got nothing that far back.

Looks like this might be the earliest cert # of my coins.

1192852

Lowest or earliest? Recall that PCGS did not use serial numbers in numerical order. The earliest serial numbers were the 7-digit numbers beginning with 108XXXX. The lowest I have is 1081982. The lowest I have seen (in an image) is 1080508.

do the serial numbers matter? i noticed that once i sent a coin in for restoration and they gave it a new serial number that started with a 0

Coppercolor · April 15, 2014 6:06AM

Matter, I don't know. Interesting, yes at least to me

sorry, that was not what i meant. i was trying to say that if you have a number, let's say 0849999...it doesn't necessarily mean that it was slabbed before 0850000...right? i am unsure.

Lakesammman · April 15, 2014 6:56AM

I have a PCGS sample with all 0's.

Lakesammman · April 15, 2014 6:59AM

Couldn't resist - sorry.

The lowest I have is 1080214

Subject is interesting, also somewhat confusing. I have a three cent silver in a rattler, and it has an eight-digit serial number, starting 031.... How does that fit into the PCGS serial number sequence?

A low PCGS certification number doesn't mean squat. Their numbers are randomly assigned. My lowest is 1234077, in an older green label holder, but my rattlers all have higher numbers. The highest numbers I have are 9000XXXX; as of today PCGS has graded 28,147,901 coins. I believe it's safe to say that if the cert # contains 7 digits, it's older than any that contain 8 digits.

right...my lowest number is 02347378...it's an ogh, but not a rattler. therefore, it was slabbed after your three cent piece. therefore, the earliest serial number cannot be determined by looking at the serial number sequence. you can only determine the lowest, which would be the sample slab with all 0's.

you would have to know the very first number they started with and what number they broke the sequence with. you would also have to exclude duplicates (yes, there are some slabs that have a duplicate number). you would also have to know the coin's slab history...because the very first coin slabbed could have been reholdered, but retained it's serial number.
