I would assume it may have been accidentally mixed in with some Washington or Adams dollars and got released before the date it was supposed to be released. Whoever got it quickly had it put in a slab to have it verified that it came out before it was supposed to. They had some problems like that with the State Quarters and the President dollars. Since the banks could specifically order these new coins, the Fed would ship them early in boxes marked "not to be distributed before XX/XX/XXXX". But some banks would open and distribute them before they were supposed to. I once had a roll of the NC State Quarters two weeks before they were to be distributed. |

 And I have some 1975 proof sets with quarters, halves, and dollars all dated 1776-1976. WOW! OP, your coin is somewhat interesting, but doubt there is much of a premium for it. |

Very interesting, Conder. Sounds plausible.

If this one were mixed into a bag with others prior to official release, why would the slab say "Limited to 2000"? (3000? I can't read it that well on my monitor.)  |

As I understand it JT Stanton worked for PCI in 2007 and left there somewhere before the first day of issue for that Thomas Jefferson coin which was August 16, 2007. As a result there's only like 50 P and D Jefferson in slabs labeled "first day of issue" of an intended 500 with his signature. Your slab with "pre-release" is dated about 9 days earlier than the release date. Looks like they got a couple boxes few days early and capitalized on it with a "pre-release" marketing idea with a signature series. It's also a Ken Potter dealer product. Article is here about it. https://www.numismaticnews.net/arti...rson_dollarsEdited by Big-Kingdom

So, as far as a value for it, the Guy Ken Potter that had these made, charges $24 per coin or $48 for the set of P+D in MS65..... and it looks like he's still Has some for sale on his website. Less than $24 on the secondary market I'd think for sure. Not rare he's got them graded up to MS68 also. MS65 would be his lowest graded ones. JT Stanton was co-author of the Cherry Pickers Guide, and I believe he passed away late 2018, so could be autograph value there depending on how much stuff he signed over the years. He was a pretty famous numismatist and it's pretty much a die variety bible as far as that masterpiece is concerned. He signed a lot of PCI slabs while he was president of PCI, His signature was reserved for attributed die varieties but towards the end it was put on a lot of things. The grading company PCI eventually went out of business. I don't know how many books he's signed over the years or how many slabs he signed, how rare the signature is would dictate that part of value, but he can't sign anything else so it's now a limited supply. I'd say it would be more money if it was a signed Cherry Pickers Guide or a die variety attributed slabbed coin, like he attributed it and signed off on it. And less for a regular strike coin without a variety with his signature on the slab tag. Edited by Big-Kingdom

Hi John1, I did not know that. I edited my comments because my choice of words in some instances could have been better, less negative reading, and I don't want to anger or upset anyone on here with my comments. My intent was to inform and give info of it.
