Yes i have that site,that's the original for the question the 70-200 f/2.8 has a serial number of 234XXX and I thought being that low it would perhaps be a 04-05 model or there about
Anyone can share on this thought

In short, yes lower serial is probably earlier production, but there seems to be some contention among people as to whether that is concrete or otherwise. It is irrelevant in any event if the lens is in excellent condition.
I have my Nikkor in my hot hands and after a few test shots ,All is good,with the collar removed even more manageable and weight isn't too great even
with collar on very balanced on the D300,now to scout out some location and to upload
cheers
