It is 10GR and the COA is marked #1 . There were 1000 of these prduced in 2001. The last were sold about a year ago. Is there signifcance to having number one of this series, and what might be the value. It is as issued proof.

If it were a us coin you would be able to expect a premium as people are cray about early numbers.   02-04-2007, 10:29 PM   #3 (permalink) JBK Coin Collector   Join Date: Jun 2004 Posts: 1,080 Also, does it say "1 of 10,000" or soemthign like that, all printed at the same time? That could just be their way of saying there were 10,000. Or, is the #1 unique to that cert? (handwritten or printed separately). Could add some curiosity value.   02-05-2007, 12:53 AM   #4 (permalink) GDJMSP Numismatist     Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: PA Posts: 23,539 If the coin were not colorized I would say yes, but because it is I would say no. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   02-05-2007, 12:14 PM   #5 (permalink) XpipedreamR Member     Join Date: Jul 2004 Posts: 67 Quote: Originally Posted by GDJMSP If the coin were not colorized I would say yes, but because it is I would say no. And if it weren't colorized, you'd have an interesting variety/mint error, because they were issued as color coins.   02-05-2007, 01:04 AM   #6 (permalink) Pepperoni Senior Member     Join Date: May 2006 Posts: 387 The COA is marked #1 . There were 1000 units made. It is printed seperately in a provided area. The coin is in a bank so I do not have immediate access to it. What does a colorizing do as far as value to a piece ? I have seen a few colorized coins but never of this quality. You have to see this and the pheasant that were done. The work is unique .In hand vs. a picture is a whole different scenario. __________________ Luck is the result of superior planning.

Some aren't even that nice when talking about them. Because of that, most collectors have little interest in them. So whether the COA was number 1 or 998 really wouldn't make much difference. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   02-05-2007, 03:28 AM   #8 (permalink) Pepperoni Senior Member     Join Date: May 2006 Posts: 387 Oh good I only have one that Ireceived as a birthday gift from my wife.
