1965 5 cents large beads - Anyone have an ICCS pop report handy?

I have been given an opportunity to buy one or more of 1965 5 cent large beads/detached jewel coins (MS-60 and MS-63, both ICCS) from a collector. To be honest after my research into this variety I am still not sure what to make of it. It wasn't discovered until 3 decades after they were minted (1965 Large Beads article). I have pretty much always shied away from ~modern low population coins (eg the 2006-P non-magnetic pennies) simply because it doesn't take many more pieces to be found/added to the pop report to really kill the value of all the existing ones. Only a few of these have showed up at auction lately, and they aren't a cheap coin for Canadian coin collectors.

If someone could kindly let me know the populations for the 1965 5 cents large beads/detached jewel variety, it would be much appreciated! PCGS has only graded two of these (both MS-64) but I believe ICCS has graded a few dozen.

As always, I'd love to hear any input you folk might have on the subject. Thanks.

    I don't have access to ICCS pops ... but I do know that a 1965 Large Beads Canadian 5c exists in a PCGS PL65 holder image

    Is it attributed on the holder? The PCGS pops page doesn't show the varieties of 1965 5c's on the pop report for Prooflike coins.

    No. But, it's definitely a Large Beads.

    I am also aware of 2 in small white ANACS holders ... think one was MS64 and the other was MS63.
