    Those are some real beauties. I don't have any low pop coins, that is probably why I can afford the house I live in. image

    And, the dealer he ripped them from probably still doesn't know how bad he got screwed. And, I mean really, really screwed. Sometimes the "moderns are overpriced junk" attitude can be very costly for a dealer when negotiating with a collector who knows his specialty. image

    If I got my 1963 Lincoln Cent graded that would be ms67, pop 3/0. It may not be the rarest coin I have though... a 26-s that looks this nice may be my rarest. Also a candidate for my rarest is my 19-s, if I got it to upgrade to 65rd (it might, have never tried) it would be pop 20/1.

    Condition rareties aren't rare coins. Let's see some overall pop. rarities!

    This one is pop 1, 3 higher (more likely 2 higher with one resubmission), probably about 40 lower (and that's all of them):

    Some super looking coins! I think the lowest pop coin I own is 221/17. And that kinda broke the piggy bank. I CAN probably swing the Pop.1 P01 thing if one comes about though. image

    I know pop stands for population, but what do the 2 numbers represent? For example, 6/0.

    You've seen her before. I've been looking for the mintage of this for many months but unsuccessfully. Records of this may not have survived the war. But it's fair to say that mintage for this is between 50 and 200.

    The 1776 Libertas Americana Medal, graded by PCGS as MS65 -- one of a scant handful struck in silver, and the ONLY specimen graded by PCGS or NGC!

    has anyone seen Darkhorse's web site? - I mean the photos are like not only super and superb they drip of perfection - if that is old news then disregard image wow!

    JB, your 09 66 Gaudy is superb - regardless of the fact that it is pop coin - you can't find true UNC in that condition - such condition are truly rare and you're very lucky to own it image

    Boiler truly sucks, I mean it image

    1783 Chalmers Shilling, Short Worm

    Once upon a time, PCGS AU-55 -- Pop 1, none higher. That time ended when I retrieved the coin with the help of a hammer.

    The coin is currently on display at the ANA Museum in Colorado Springs. Sorry I have no current image, but it is simply gorgeous. In writing and researching a monograph on Chalmers coins for the ANS, I only located one better one and a handful of pieces in more or less similar grade. It's probably among the top 3 or 4 known, which is all that matters to me -- thus why the pop figure didn't affect my thinking.

    I wonder if I'm the only one here who broke out his Pop 1 coin?

    Love Cardinal's silver Libertas Americana AND

    kiefer's black NGC slabs.

    Can all of you imagine having your special coin in a NGC black slab?

    Pistareen, I bet you $1 that you would have NEVER have cracked out your 1783 Chalmers Shilling Short Worm if it had been in an NGC BLACK slab!image

    Oh, my coin? Does it really matter? We have seen enough great coins here already that this is already a great thread.

    By the Pop's alone this isn't extraoridinary in it's category of PF62/63 (it's in a PCI PF63 slab but it might go for PF62 at PCGS/NGC), but there's probably only about 100 of these proof 1860 3CS in existence (surviving) today!

    For any of y'all who are thinking about checking out paper currency, my rarest note is an $1 US Note - 1875 Series A. It's one of 21 known in all grades.. only cost me $600 or so. No, that isn't a typo.. there are only about 2 dozen of these known in ALL grades.
