Does anybody else think these first 6 images are the same 1898-S Barber Dime MS66? If so, looks like a silly registry game someone's playing on an already beautiful coin. PCGS is pure genius inventing the online registry to make a business model out of!

Pop report 13 means that this coin has been graded 13 times right?

They're not irrelevant. Pop reports show distribution of grades, not rarity of pieces. In this case it's illustrating how tough it is to actually find a 67. The fact that 7 of the 66 grades that were handed out on this date are to the same coin, accurately illustrates the rarity of the 67 grade.

Umm, really? If i owned a 66 I think I'd like to know that at least 5 published data points are BS.
