    Sure, I believe you 😂

    Top pops are quite easy to shoot. Typically very photogenic.

    The first coin in this post is actually a 1/0 “base” 1857. Check the PCGS pop breakdown. There’s another 1/0 that’s the S-1 variety & it’s also a 1/0 in it’s category. Both are 66+ but placed together under the 1857 total. Hope this clears up the unintended controversy.

    I see four impressions on that 1890 TDO. A QDO?

    Or is the second "layer" from shelf doubling? That would be my guess.

    Neat coin!

    @ Barberian: you could be right! I know this much, though - your eyes are better than mine!

    Not only a top pop 1/0 as the only 66+ RB, many collectors overlook the 1864 No L (Bronze) is also a one year type.

    Ken, that 1890 S-1 is one of the coolest varieties in the series. Love it!

    1866 S-1 66RD. Ex:Castle. The finest known of this tough 4* variety.


    Makes my MS65RB look like something you would find in a discount bin at a coin shop!!

    1883 S-6 66RB. Lots of “action” on this 1/0 with high % of RD along with it.

    1889 S-31 65RB. Fairly obscure but rare 4* variety.

    Ken,

    Here is an interesting point about the 1894/1894’s from Rick’s book below. For a long time I wondered why this variety had the characteristics it did since these depressions are on many of them, but not always in the same places.

    A half-roll of gem uncirculated coins was discovered in the early 1990’s. All 20 or so coins came with numerous strike-through depressions scattered in the fields. These do not necessarily limit the grade, as they are considered to be a Mint-made artifact. The strike- throughs are made when liquid is on the planchet during striking. It could be water or oil. The depression on the coin is a different luster pattern, usually very shiny. These may look like spots in images. It is important to understand the difference

    Here’s mine: pop 2/0

    @redraider: fascinated by your CN S-11. My edition of Rick’s book is older. Is it mentioned in your version? Great coin!

    Flyer PR aficionados know the PR-5 was struck in the 1st grouping in 1856. This one was also part of the Wright Flyer Collection. Thanks Doug!

    Last of the 1/0’s today from my FE PR Complete Variety Set. PCGS has properly categorized this as a 1/0. There is a PR-2 64CAM, also a 1/0. One could make an argument the CAM should rate higher, but it is a separate issue with a different ID#. Big contrast in the pics between the True View & other shots. The coin has great eye appeal & actually looks somewhere in between in hand.
