What is the lowest highest grade for an issue?

airplanenut

In plenty of series, there is always one top graded piece that is just about perfect, the MS69BN large cent, for example. So, what is the lowest grade for a highest graded US coin? This can be either for a specific date, or an entire series (though I'm more interested in the entire series). Let's say there must be at least 10 graded pieces for the type/date, and not count specific varieties.

Look at the Low Ball sets maybe.

Sorry I missed your point completly.

Beat me to it. But I think that there are a few other specific coins where no unc ones are known IIRC. Isn't there a 68 Seated dollar known though?

Otherwise such things as 1817/4 and 1853-O no arrows halves come into play

1885 $20?

1854-S $5 and/or $2.5?

Kind of fun and on track: I own a PCGS PO1 1964 Kennedy along with an MS67 1964 Kennedy.

The 1870-S three dollar gold piece is VF-ish, if that helps.

That was going to be my post until I got to the part about 10 graded examples. 1799 large cent is prob a good guess.
