Most Spectacular PCGS Coins?

In perusing the pop report (translation - tooling on the internet for hours and hours when I should have been working) I started looking for the wildest coins PCGS has graded.

Heres my top 4:

The 1794 Talbott Allum and Lee Cent in 66 RD - the only colonial coin designated as a 66 RD of any type or variety.

The 1793 Chain cent in 63 RB - this has to be the only Chain out there anywhere with any red on it - I'd really like to see that one.

The 1793 Wreath cent in 69.

A 1794 Dollar in 66 - (actually there are 2 on the pop report - which is beyond hard to believe for me).

Anybody top those?

    One of the 1794's is the Amon Carter coin - the other is the Leyland Rodger's coin. I wouldn't kick either out of bed for eating crackers! image

    Off the top of my head, I like the following that are in PCGS holders:

    Naftzger 1793 chain cent
    Eliasberg 1913 nickel
    Childs 1804 dollar

    I once owned Leyland Roger's 1806 small 6, stems half cent. When he owned it, it was the discovery specimen that dated back to a 19th century auction and the the finest known. When I owned it, it was skillfully recolored. It was still a great looking example of a scarce variety, but why, why did some idiot clean it?

    Oh well, if the idiot had not cleaned, I could not have afforded to own it at ANY time!

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
