The last one might go for 10k, who knows.
I wonder if you submit a counterfeit coin with such certificate, would ngc give you a break? LOL
ridiculous
NGC coins with Jenny's number are probably out there, and might make cute conversation pieces. But I have trouble understanding why someone would pay for a cert number that is no more rare than any other. The same goes for currency serial numbers, but there is a market for some of those...

They also may not get any bids at all.

This is nuts.

Ah, I thought that you got to grade 999 coins over two years for the coupon but just had to pay postage and the $10 handling fee -- you actually have to pay the grading fees and just get some special number -- that is totally lame. I figured $2000 to grade 999 coins was a good deal.
1) Not sure it is the same at NGC, but IIRC at PCGS, you get a submission number that identifies your entire order. And, then each coin in the submission gets its own cert number. The auction appears to be for the submission number, not the cert number.
2) Auction appears to be in Hong Kong. Perhaps there is some cultural element in play here.

There is. That's why the eights. [Which was the only one with a bid last i checked. ]

Lucky numbers? I used to think certain phone numbers, etc. would be good for business, truly an exercise if fantasy thinking.
At NGC, the form has a submission number, and the resulting certification number(s) is(are) the submission number plus a hyphen plus a three digit number running from 001 to the number of coins in that submission, up to 999. Thus, there could be as many as 999 Jennys, like 8675309-001, 8675309-002, etc. As in the SB offerings shown above, NGC has gotten past that submission number, so they may be out there, unless someone saved or trashed that particular form. Of course, it is also possible that there is/was a unique (0)8675309 at PCGS. But that number currently turns up nothing in the cert verification tool.

Also, I'm wondering if SB has a typo in the lot listing. Given that NGC will soon run out of 7-digit submission numbers, is the special one the upcoming 10000000, or the specified, old number 1000000? I'd expect it to be the first 8-digit number. (But I still can't believe someone would pay $1200 or more for it!)

I assume that NGC reserved the special numbers a while ago, and prevented them from getting used.
I also predict that all of the lots will sell. This is the sort of thing that a late-night telemarketer could go to town with. Or whatever the equivalent of a late-night telemarketer is, in Hong Kong.
Search link for all of these lots, so I don't have to find them again: https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/lots?search="ngc+auspicious+submission"&limit=36&lots_range=upcoming
Good info. Thanks for the education.
