Highest Ranking Graded Coins

2175 proof Indian Head Cents were minted in 1909, the last year of the design. Of all of the examples submitted to PCGS for grading over the years, only 8 examples have been certified as having Cameo contrast. Of those 8 examples, only 4 have been graded PR66RD CAM, with none grading higher and no coins grading with deep cameo (DCAM):

Here's another image I have of the same coin that better shows the cameo contrast

COIN FACT ENCLOPEDIA/PCGS:
DOUBLE DENOMINATION ERRORS
One of the most expensive, popular, and desired types of errors are the double denominations. This error happens when a coin is struck on a previously struck coin of another denomination. Examples are a cent on a struck dime, and a nickel on a struck cent. The most dramatic are those with considerable design visible from the original strike.

Let me think for a second..........

Oh yeah. I've got an MS-69 ASE (compliments of my friends at Teletrade) but I think the pop numbers are about half a million with 2 million higher.......:devil:

 

Here's my type coin of the 1909 VDB cent. Graded NGC MS67RD. The NGC population is 79 in MS67RD, with one in MS68RD.

 

1793 LIMA-IJ, graded PCGS AU58, population 2/0

Even with a relatively high mintage (5 million), NGC has graded only 6 coins and PCGS has graded only 5. Of the total 11 coins graded by NGC or PCGS, the two highest graded examples are graded AU58 (this is the one from PCGS, and there is one other from NGC) and 5 graded AU55 (3 from NGC and 2 from PCGS). The other 4 examples are graded XF45 or lower.

Robec- I love your photos!! Do you only collect/photograph cents, or do you branch out into other denominations as well? Those sure are some beautiful lincolns!!!

 

All 70s

MS and PR 70

 

Thank you.

I do have others, but Lincoln's have overwhelmed the collection. The addiction seems to be getting terminal.

 

Could someone help me with population #'s on a NGC MS66 1935D RD and NGC MS66 1936D RD?

 

Quality Is A Personal Decision

Green, although I'm in awe of some of the beautiful pieces that have been posted, and realize the diligence required to acquire, I agree with Rodeoclown, and believe that whatever you would post is a prize winner.

I spent many "spare" hours of my life accumulating coins I appreciated. But even the supplying dealers thought I was excessive in the diversity of accumulating, sorting, saving to the maximum extent my finances allowed. They couldn't comprehend why someone would collect virtually all circulating or recently circulating U.S. coins produced in what I considered to be "Precious Metals".

Today the "dealers" have tried to label much of my accumulation (even higher grade "classic Gold") as "junk", but modern local youths (i.e. <40 years) constantly return to purchase large quantities of these hand selected, relatively flawless "junk" coins sold at less than current dealer "junk" sales prices. I continue to purchase "gem" certified semi-key "classic Gold", DMPL Carson City Morgans, elusive 1921 well struck (full hair) Peace, and other "gems" (e.g. PR70 Ultra-Cameo AGE) that others may appreciate in the future.

I believe that selection of quality is a personal choice that doesn't need others' approval, that is complemented by the elusivity and intensity of the search.

I prize most those items which required the greatest effort in acquisition, whether it be a beautiful coin, firearm, vehicle, or my "significant other".

Please share your "choice" with us. :thumb:

Pop 1/0 I need to look for others but thought of this one first.

 

Robec, I've seen you post a lot of toned lincoln cents, but I would have to say that that green 1954 proof is my favorite. Simply stunning.

 

I think it's probably my favorite as well. It is even more amazing in hand. I think Winged Liberty would agree. He's had a bird's eye look at it.

 

At one point, I had 14 of the 2007-P Sac $ business strikes, NGC MS68, of a total population of 44/1. I'm down to just 5 now, but they are going up on eBay soon.

There you are. I missed you! xoxox

Since I don't collect slabbed coins, this is my highest graded one.

Pop alot/alot

PCGS MS66
Although eye appeal is pop 1 to me!
Also the slab still has Paul's fingerprints on it.
