As per PCGS:

 

What is the importance of the PCGS coin number?

Our coin numbering system is designed to speed up the receiving and processing of submissions. Coin numbers are also a central part of our reporting systems: the PCGS Population Report and the PCGS Set Registry.

 

I also think the Series number has something to do with PCGS's numbering system also. 32 may mean it's a roosevelt and the PR would be for a proof.

 

 

Added: Here is a ATS Post that our own Conder101 posted about 8 yrs ago showing different slabs and some of thier meanings.

SERIES number identifying the actual specific COIN 95255

 

actual grade number 69

 

serial number for this particular coin and slab 72429246 telling only pcgs in house when this coin was graded and put into this slab

[michael]

SERIES 32pr and COIN 24 was a different way of saying 95255 and was redundent and confusing hence a few years ago pcgs did away with series; and coin number;

 

for just the series aND COIN NUMBER 95255

 

why say something twice in 2 different ways when only once and simple is the way to go?? and incorporates everything in the long number at the bottom

 

series and con number 95255 grade 69 then / specific serial number to this specific coin
