Inspired by Jinx86’s ever-so-rare Pop 1, XF45RD, 1909-S VDB....
Post your Lowest and Highest PCGS Population coins! “Top Pop” not required....just the number currently in existence.
Might be fun since it may not be 100% obvious why some are such a low or high population in some cases. Throw in your “Lowest Pop Higher” as well....(For true bragging rights??).
Easy to figure out if you are using the PCGS Registry Set Inventory. Just sort by “Pop”.
My Lowest Pop:
1821 JR-7 Large Date Bust Dime, VF-30, Pop 2
(Guessing it’s just the attribution, more than anything else. Pop Higher is only 2! I’m sure more exist that just aren’t attributed.)
My Highest:
1923 Peace, MS63, Pop 85,341
(A true rarity, when you consider the Pop Higher is 108,099) 
.
Lowest “Pop Higher”:
(Tossing out my 7 MS/PR-70 coins...which I didn’t realize I had so many of).
Tie
1) 2005-P 5C, Bison, Satin Finish, SP69, Pop Higher: 1
2) 2007-P 1$, George Washington, Position B, MS66, Pop Higher: 1
(This one makes no sense to me. Pop is only 41?? Is it the Position B designation?? Does anyone care??)
Bonus: Pop Oddity
1806/5 O-103 Large Stars Draped Bust Half, Grade Fine Details, N1 (Cleaned)
Pop 0, Pop Higher 51
What?! My coin doesn’t exist.....

The reverse is fully PL, but the semi-PL obverse held it back. It was close.
TommyType, PCGS does not count "details" coins, that is why yours "does not exist"...I think.
