    Heh heh. The seller is trolling for morons. For anyone who is impressed with that "pop 1" stuff, check out the condition census.

    Currently, as the seller says, there's only one coin in "62", but he/she fails to mention the 10 in "63", 10 more in "64", 9 in "65" and 1 in "66".

    Oh, and there's another "pop 1" in "50".image

    And, as Gomer Pyle would say, "surprise, surprise, surprise!" - the bidder's "User ID (is being) kept private". A cynic might suspect that doesn't flow from any benevolent concern for the bidders' privacy, but rather to prevent anyone alerting the naive that "pop 1" might not be such a big deal after all.

    I hope no one pays anything above melt for that coin, as it is an AU dog, devoid of luster and eye-appeal.
