I think this is still either a Pop 1 or 2 at CACG

This is the only Ultra Cam in this date at NGC ….a Proof 68 Ultra Cam…and there’s only one lower 1912 at PCGS ….a Proof 66 DCAM … So only two ultra/deep cameo proofs graded out of a mintage of 700 for this date.
Got to look for the TV.
Forget the reverse, but it was a statehood quarter.
Top two pops actually.
Slept on it about a week and flipped them both for about $4k combined.
Been several years, and shockingly, when I last looked they were still #1 and #2

POP1 31/1/3
I know, I know, it's foreign. But it's my one big notable Pop 1. Only one graded at PCGS. NGC has graded 3 of these, but their highest is a 64.

MS 1824 Riksdaler... I think this is the only one graded by our host
1735 Shilling... The only MS example graded by out host
Germany 1932 G 10 Reichspfennig... The only MS example graded by our host
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
What a gorgeous medal. WOW!
This is the only 1921-S Lincoln Cent graded MS66RB CAC.
Finest known 53-S in FS and yes it does have full hammered steps and an amazing strike in hand
Does this one count? Pop 1 none higher...
This is a pop 1 as well...
USAF (Ret) 1974 - 1994 - The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. Remembering RickO, a brother in arms.
Does this one count? None higher none lower, the only one of it's kind. 😉

Pop 1/0 at NGC. Same grade is also 1/0 at PCGS.
edit to add: That's for the Large Date in MS66. Pops at NGC and PCGS for the Medium (normal) Date in MS66 are 2/0 and 1/0, respectively. I also own those two NGC Medium Date coins.

WOW!!!
This was a 1/0 for a long time. A lesser one has been graded same:
This one is still a 1/0, just posted on the birthday thread:
Pretty sure this one’s a 1/0 if you take the die pairing into account, otherwise it’s a 2/0 for the J-300 variety. Plus it’s ex. Abe Kosoff
And almost forgot, this is a 1/0, as a small letters, high leaves variant, although other non attributed examples exist
And this may be a reach, but for the die state, no other example has ever been seen without the clash above the O in ONE. It’s also (obviously) a die pair one, and proof like

Of all Clark Gruber die trials, off-metal strikes, special strikes, etc., this is the only one with a PLUS grade (PCGS MS63+BN):
.
There is apparently one of this same coin graded MS64BN (no plus). I've never seen a picture of that one, but I would bet this MS63+BN is better.

My pop 1– across all grades for under $200!
This one just made AU-58+, the only one for that grade for 1845. Was an AU-55 in an ANACS soapbox.

If any of you have seen the movie, "The Right Stuff", in one scene Gus Grissom is at the bar showing another astronaut the dimes that he will take up into space on America's second manned spaceflight. In total Grissom took 100 dimes up with him. Unfortunately for Grissom, the hatch on his spacecraft, Libery Bell 7, blew just after landing, and Liberty Bell 7 sank.
NASA figured out that Grissom was not responsible for the hatch blowing, and he was given the honor of being the Commander for the first manned Gemini spacecraft mission, Gemini 3. His crewmate was John Young, who aside from walking on the Moon also had the honor of being the Commander of the first Space Shuttle flight. Anyhow, Grissom was thoroughly chastened by the sinking of Liberty Bell 7, so he only brought one dime with him on Gemini 3.
After the mission, Grissom and Young were enjoying some downtime with Guenter Wendt, the head of the spacecraft ground crew at Kennedy Space Center. Wendt was a favorite of the astronauts, and they nicknamed him the Pad Fuhrer because he came from Germany after the war. Grissom was using the survival knife that was packed into Gemini 3 to scratch GT-3 on to the dime (G was for Gemini and T was for the Titan rocket that launched Gemini). Young said to Grissom that he ought to give Wendt the dime, so Grissom gave the dime to Guenter.
While I own one of the Liberty Bell 7 dimes, it is much more fun to own the GT-3 flown dime. Of course, this also means that I can be the only owner of a complete set of Gus Grissom space flown dimes.

Great coin - one of the standouts in the Drumwright collection. I think there were some very nice coins that were relative “bargains” in the Drumwright sale.
