Years ago, I decided to take on the near impossible “Indian Head Cent Complete Variety Registry Set” consisting of some 185(!) coins. At the time, I owned over half of them & realized it was a massive undertaking. My muse was a collector that had amassed all but 1 of the coins. The one he was missing was impossible for him as I owned the only example (1871 S-2). In acquiring additions to the set along the way, I bought a few of the examples in his now retired set. Yesterday, I bought a really tough one he still had:

This is the top & only RD example of the very elusive 1883 S-11. The last photo clearly shows the variety characteristic.
I still have 5 left to complete the set; yesterday’s pickup was the first addition in over a year. I have my doubts I’ll ever finish it, but yesterday’s pickup gives me a little hope.

Very nice!

@redraider:
Jonathan - I’m going to up Terry’s guess to a 65BN. I don’t see much in the way of marks. Curious about the clash mark above the ONE? It seems very light & only shows partially, I think. Could be the pic.
But, if not, this would only be the second one known without it! My inquiring mind would like to know!
Thanks,
Ken
