    Don't know how to find a photo, but I believe the 1860-S quarter is in that category. And it's not even super-rare in all grades.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    This was graded NGC MS 61, but it's still a good pick:

    I think I have a possible contender for the most frightening 1865 Indian cent.

    No, not that one- I know it says "1900"!

    I mean the one on the left!

    The finest known 1817/4 half dollar is AU-50. I don't have an image of it, so here's a lesser example.

    The finest known 1794 Starred Reverse (S-48) Large cent is VF35. The example Coinfacts lists second as VF30 is actually in a PCGS XF45 holder, the highest graded on PCGS's pops.

    It's tough to come up with examples if you don't count varieties!
