Registry set freebies -> Pop top Buffalo Varieties

Well, I did have to pay the attribution fees, but

1926-S 5C XF45 [was Anacs xf40 before I broke it out]
1916 5C 2 Feathers FS-402 AU50 [Pop Top, 1/0]
1917 5C 2 Feathers FS-401 (FS-016.411) XF40 [Pop Top, 1/0]
1917-S 5C 2 Feathers FS-401 (FS-016.44) VG10 [Pop 2/2]
1917-S 5C 2 Feathers FS-401 (FS-016.44) VF25 [Pop Top, 1/0]
1918-S 5C 2 Feathers FS-401 (FS-016.6) VG10 [Pop 1/1]
1927-D 5C 3 1/2 Leg FS-901 (FS-016.65) VG8 [Pop 2/7]
1936-S/S 5C RPM FS-501 (FS-020) AU53 [Pop 1/13]

At the same time I sent in four buffalos that were already in PCGS holders for attribution only:

1938-D 5C Buffalo MS67 [mistake. Only rpm-002 is attributed as 1938-d/d]
1916 5C No F FS-401 (FS-016.3) MS63 [Pop Top, 1/0] image until the fourth item was graded, now 1/1]
1925-S 5C 2 Feathers FS-401 (FS-016.641) AU53 [Pop Top, 1/0]
1916 5C No F FS-401 (FS-016.3) MS64 [Pop Top, 1/0]

All told, at least for the moment, I got 5 pop top buffalo nickel varieties! Needless to say, I was thrilled.

Interestingly, there are still 11 or 12 of PCGS/CherryPicker's varieties that PCGS has not graded, all Pop 0!

Enjoy!

    Which Buffalo varieties have not yet been certified?
    Do not fall into the error of the artisan
    who boasts of twenty years experience in his craft
    while in fact he has had only one year of experience...
    twenty times.
