<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2097366, member: 66&quot;]When I wrote the book on Third party grading services and all the holder varieties they had uses I numbered the varieties in the order in which they had appeared.&nbsp; My PCGS 8 was the first blue labeled slab with the Series and Coin # on the front label and the barcode on the back label.&nbsp; That style was used from Oct of 1998 through Feb 2002.&nbsp; I never assigned a number of PCGS 8.2.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cameron Kiefer did a website of TPG service Sample slabs.&nbsp; His numbering system does NOT always go in the order in which they were used and he often has slabs with higher numbers that were issued before slabs with lower numbers.&nbsp; He does have a PCGS 8.2 which is a sample slab issued with a Morgan dollar in it in a FOURTH generation of PCGS slab holder.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did not list that sample slab in my book, if I had it would probably have had the number PCGS 4S4.&nbsp; I numbered the sample slabs by the generation of the slab and then the order in which they came to my attention because I could not actually determine what order they were issued in.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
