Rick Snow reports the coin below is the toughest in the entire IHC series. I saw a XF45 years ago that was not designated. This one’s the only MS example known @ 64RB.
Bro! The 7 touches 1! Yes, that IS the toughest in the whole series. I have never even seen one.
For my finale 1/0. I’ve been encouraged by collectors I know to consider patterns (thanks Doug, Matt, Rick). I did & decided I’m one & done. But, it’s special:

Anyone who has the good fortune to own one knows what a special feeling it gives. I just acquired this one from the legendary Stewart Blay’s GC auction.
Ken,
Your’s is extremely beautiful and has PL surfaces. The die crack from 6:00 to 3:00 is a marker for a group of 1857 FE’s that have PL surfaces.
Yes, you are correct. Those 1858 LL’s are really beautiful too! There was a hoard of those 1858’s that came from the NE. The most PL 1857’s I ever saw were a couple of S-1’s that had a lot of die polishing.
I happen to have one of those. The crack is actually two that meet + they’re a little bit right to where the 1857 runs.
This one was in Don Kelley’s transit set.
Today I’m breaking my criteria one time on this thread. The coin below is one I don’t own, but I think it’s so special & nice I wanted to post it. It’s a 1/0 & a discovery piece. A 1857 PR64 S-5! And, a beauty besides. A BIG congrats to my collector friend Phil on his fantastic discovery. He’s a real FE enthusiast besides!
I included images of three coins graded by our Host.
The Australian 1919 1d DDO/DDR is to the best of my knowledge the only example graded by PCGS and was likely a discovery coin. It is perhaps one of the most compelling coins that exhibits both obverse and reverse doubling that I have seen. I am at a loss how this could remain undiscovered for such an extended period of time.
This Churchill DDR remains the only one graded by PCGS- perhaps this error is more difficult to locate than previously thought.
Then we have the Charles II Crown which is is highest graded by our host.

Yes, my copy/paste technique has some flaws The 1896 is a 12/0. The coin I wanted to post, an 1892 MS67 1/0 did not have a TruView so I changed my mind and tried to edit the image to another coin.
How about this one instead? It wasn’t from the Blay estate though.

Okay, thanks. Yes, your 1896 is a 12/0. I was just a little confused about these designators. So hypothetically, if you had a coin that was the "only" one graded (non higher non lower, the only one list), it would still be a 1/0?

Obviously if it was the only one graded it would be a 1/0 no matter what the grade is. It is also a top pop 1/0 if there were a 1000 graded lower but none higher.
I am assuming for this thread when Matt is asking for pop 1/0 coins he is referring to pop 1 coins with none graded higher in their designated group, be it Cameo, Deep , Cameo, RD, RB, BN, FB, etc.

It can be a bit confusing. Plus, the added + and CAC grading. I've compared pop/census reports across all TPG'ers. Taking it to another level.. In a perfect world, it would be nice to have an official or unofficial designator to indicate where our coins grade compared to all the other TPG'ers.

Again I could be mistaken but I took him to mean pop 1/0 with the company it is graded with. I don’t have an answer why Matt’s is a 2/0 unless the second one was recently made.

Cool! That means this coin is a 1/0, even though there is a raw coin out there that has less wear.
And I just found out tonight that this went from a 1/0 to a 2/0, so I get a Mulligan.

Your’s is extremely beautiful and has PL surfaces. The die crack from 6:00 to 3:00 is a marker for a group of 1857 FE’s that have PL surfaces.
@DMWJR: good info Doug. I’ve noted a similar crack on a handful of 1858 LL’s that were considered PL years ago. Didn’t know that about 1857….

Yes, you are correct. Those 1858 LL’s are really beautiful too! There was a hoard of those 1858’s that came from the NE. The most PL 1857’s I ever saw were a couple of S-1’s that had a lot of die polishing.
I happen to have one of those. The crack is actually two that meet + they’re a little bit right to where the 1857 runs.
