Your serial # is undefined with the info at hand. In the multicoating 
surveys, it falls between the highest SC lens and the lowest # MC lens. 
On thte lens ring it will say either "F.ZUIKO", in which case it one of 
the last SCs made, or "ZUIKO MC", in which case it is one of the 
earliest MCs. In either case, it's likely a pretty good lens (wear and 
tear aside), not like the rather soft earliest SCs nor as good as the 
last version, the 'miJ'.  There were a total of about 6 million 50/1.8s 
made.

Gary tested 2 50/1.8 SCs, but didn't indicate the serial #s and 1 with 
the 'MC' marking, but again no serial#. You can peruse them yourself 
here <http://members.aol.com/olympusom/lenstests/default.htm>.
