Certification numbers

In another recent thread while looking up certification numbers on PCGS's website just for the heck of it I put in the last seven digits of my phone number. Interestingly enough it came up as a coin that has been certified. Has anyone else done this before by searching for either the first seven or eight, or the last seven or eight digits of your phone number? There are so many people who collect various styles and varieties of different generation slabs, why not look for a true needle in a haystack? It would be a prized addition if I could find the one of the many millions that have been graded that has my phone number as the certification number.
Chance favors the prepared mind.

My phone number coin is an 1888 Morgan dollar in MS64 with a population of 15,138 and a priceguide value of 84 bucks. (Not terribly exciting, I'm afraid.)
Let's see who comes up with the most interesting and/or valuable coin.
PS- OK, wanna hear the spooky part?
The number I put in first was my current cell phone number.
I just tried our old landline number (which is over 3.5 million digits removed from the other), and got...
An 1888 Morgan dollar in MS64 with a population of 15,138 and a priceguide value of 84 bucks.
In other words, the exact same thing.
Yeah, OK, so that coin and grade have a huge population, but still, that's kind of spooky, I think.
Hmm...

Slightly odd. The two numbers aren't even close. Amazing what really gets slabbed vs what I usually submit.
Lord M. That is pretty weird...mine did the same thing; present phone and phone number to the house where I grew up at;

The rest of the family fared much better, with uncirculated 1908 and 1910-S Saints and an uncirculated 1850 large cent.

I seem to have the Midas touch for gold. Now if it will just make its way back to $1300 soon all will be well.
