PCGS graded coin with the lowest certificate number

[kchan1111]

FWIW, I believe this coin has the lowest certificate number in PCGS database.

Wonder if it's worth a premium.

So what happened to the other 139?
People pay a premium for error slabs, limited run slabs, old green rattlers etc so presumably this low number slab is worth extra.

No idea. The assigned cert numbers in their database is not contiguous.

not a cheap coin in the 1st place, I would pay a premium for bragging rights and I am sure others would pay more than me.

Hahah no... I didn't check one by one. I got a machine to do it. I also have a spreadsheet that fetched the info for all numbers down one column. Handy if you want to look up a whole batch.

OK I was a bit bored.

I think that the only relevance a low serial number has is that it may be in an older type holder and may grade higher if re submitted.
If people are willing to pay a premium for a low number why not look for repeaters or radars :angel:

The Only reason I buy PCGS graded coins is because I have a 99.99% chance of getting a coin accurately graded and genuine, The serial number is irrelevant to me :ok:
