This is the first I've seen of this coin. Looking at the cert #, it appears to have been certified recently.
According to PCGS, the holder bears a Link pedigree. Perhaps the coin was raw (by preference) before Charles Link acquired it, but always having been documented.
Has this example been known for some time? Any input is greatly appreciated.

There are 5 known

Top 10 Rarest
And did you all know that they just found 1817/4 # 11?
Maybe we can all afford one soon if this keeps up.

April Fools? Or are you just teasing me?
Yes, another 1817/4 was certified at Baltimore. Supposedly found at a coin shop, mislabeled 181.7.
PCGS had some concerns over tooling at the date and called in Sheridan Downey, who confirmed it. VF20 details.
That makes 11!

(no April fools)
<< <i>Heck of a nice looking R8, huh? Well, R7+. Chuck is a very lucky guy.

I am pretty sure that this was initially in an ANACS holder as a VF 20, and is not the most recent discovery, checking the AMBPR

I thought the BHNC still considers this an R8.
Okay ... not that it really matters, but I am curious as the club is about to embark on a reassessment of rarity ratings.

When there are so few out there, it is easy to get an exact count of known examples, so when #4 surfaced a few years ago was when it was downgraded to a 7+, then #5 surfaced....
The rarity rating assessment does not effect the R7 and R8 or even R6 coins that much as those are more closely tracked and downgraded as new examples surface. The reassessment is more for a check on all the other ratings, including those that have R1 and R2 ratings.

Okay ... thanks. I usually don't follow these ultra-rare pieces as the likelihood of my seriously purchasing one is ... well ... more rare than the die marriage!

Oh ... is that how this whole "rarity" thing works?
I appreciate the penetrating glimpse into the obvious.
