<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 3195157, member: 1765&quot;]No serial number because the company that ordered the promotional slabs (i.e., packaging) didn&#039;t want it, and they specified exactly what was to be on the holder.&nbsp; No grading took place, and NGC agreed to put the text on the holder of all such pieces sent in the order.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For the &quot;Gem Proof&quot; piece with the serial number, this was some other private issue round that was sent for bulk grading and a promotional label, which costs more.&nbsp; You will occasionally see actual coins in &quot;Brilliant Uncirculated&quot; holders, as well, typically associated with a hoard of some sort.&nbsp; The point isn&#039;t to grade them as much as to add value with packaging and show that they&#039;re part of a hoard and are authentic, uncirculated pieces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
