acan451 Valued Member Canada 138 Posts	Posted 03/08/2011 6:31 pm Greetings All I just bought this sample coin and though you might enjoy seeing it. From what I have read, it was the first world sample coin PCGS put out. Any info you have on this coin would be great as I know little about sample coins. You can actually see the same coin at http:// https://www.sampleslabs.com/pcgs.html Thanks to biokemist6 for that web site.

acan451 Valued Member Canada 138 Posts	Posted 03/08/2011 7:39 pm What I am wondering, is if the numbers on the left side of the slab are all the same, or if each on is different. Alan Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 03/08/2011 8:56 pm The numbers on the left are the coin number. They should be unique to the series/date encapsulated. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

brokencompass Valued Member United States 451 Posts	Posted 03/08/2011 10:45 pm Any idea when this coin was graded by PCGS? Report this Post to the Staff
acan451 Valued Member Canada 138 Posts	Posted 03/09/2011 5:07 pm From what PCGS tells me it was graded back in 1990 something. Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 03/09/2011 6:46 pm Conder101 would be the one to ask about this, he knows allot about sample slabs including to when they were put in the slabs. I believe the series numbers would be the same as long as the type of coin is the same, and the 12345678 is just the sample slab number so more than one coin can have the same label as long as the coins are the same type and denomination but Conder101 would know all these answers better than I do Report this Post to the Staff
Buzzard Valued Member United States 156 Posts	Posted 03/10/2011 01:04 am Serial number breakdown: 886034 is PCGS code for a 1967 Swiss half franc. The 00 after the decimal point shows that it is an ungraded coin. A graded coin would be in the range of 01 to 70. The 12345678 is a dummy serial number, used on multiple sample slabs. I, too, am the proud owner of a 1967 Swiss half franc in a PCGS sample slab. Its serial number is the same as yours: 886034.00/12345678. I once tried putting it into the NGC Registry alongside my other half francs, but their system rejected it. Report this Post to the Staff
acan451 Valued Member Canada 138 Posts	Posted 03/10/2011 4:33 pm Thanks everyone Hey Buzzard I sent a email to PCGS and they told me it is not in their registry, as it is a sample coin. I also found out from http://www.sampleslabs.com/pcgs.html That this was The first PCGS sample slab with a world coin inside. It also said that they are quite hard to find.
