The member number was assigned in the order the member first joined AMSAT. Over the years, members have come and gone. However, the membership number keeps growing.
I joined AMSAT the 2nd month after it was founded. My AMSAT number is 239. When life memberships were offered, I was the 463rd to get a life membership. Therefore, my life membership is indicated by LM-463. As Martha says, the current number of "paid" members is a little over 3000. In terms of membership, I am among those who have been a member the longest.
