I love the coin either way regardless of the COA number.

nice but if I could sell it for an extra 100$, I would sell it and rebuy the coin again at a discount with the 100$ I made selling the first one.. imho.

If there was some guarantee that the COA# matched the production sequence, it would be interesting.

With larger mintages there would be multiple production dies, so there would be a set of important "first" strikes from the dies.

With a production order guarantee there could be analysis of the grades for the early strikes, and a determination if they actually generate superior strikes (e.g. does a PF-68 or PF-69 require the first 5-10 strikes of a new die?) or are silver/gold so soft as to not matter at all to a modern die?

I'm sure there are test strikes, so would any die be virgin when production strikes are commenced?

Dialog I ask these question to a product manager of the RCM, and he said it's not possible to distinguish the first and last of any die on any coin now days.

Correct. COA is not the order of production. There is no relation between the order of strike and the COA #.
