Your highest graded coin

I don't know why I got a True View for this coin, I just sent it in for variety attribution. But apparently it got one so I thought I would share. It is the highest graded coin I own. It is an outlier in my collection which is mainly VF-AU as I like coins that were actually used as part of our history. But some gradeable Seated Liberty Dime minor varieties are so rare that you have to compromise and buy an MS example. This is an 1887-S/S FS-501. It is graded MS66. There is a total straight-graded PCGS population of 3 for this variety and this example is the finest.
Share your highest graded coin too, if you like.

I bet there are a lot of MS/PR70 moderns out there. Perhaps you ought to limit it to pre-1900.

In my collection? AU58+!
I have a few moderns at PR70DCAM and I think I have a MS69DMPL. But they are not in the same class as your vintage coin.

c'mon man, you're just toying with us. Reminds me of the SR-71 speed check story

While it is on the dark side (Mexico), this in only 1 of 4 MS66+ Cap & rays 8 Reales in the whole 70 year series. There are none higher.
From viewing photos of the other 3, mine has a claim for being the finest.
1977 SP69 (PCGS) Switzerland Medal ("Fire": Eos/Helios)
I used to have these two as well, but no longer:
1824 MS69RB (NGC) Spain Copper Maravedi

I have lots of common date Lincolns in MS67 in my Lincoln set but the highest grade non modern are two MS67+ coins. This 1940 which I purchased from Eagle Eye is the only one I have a pic of, the other is my 1934 which came from Angel Dee's

An MS-70 Franklin Pierce presidential dollar. It's not the centerpiece of my collection but it is highly graded. A real keeper!

Can we amend this to mean something other than Moderns :-)
Kind of makes it way more interesting. Nothing against Moderns, just need to make photo viewing choices at this time in my collecting.
This for non modern:

PS Keep in mind the above 'highest graded' coins are NOT my 'favorite' coins.
