[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 4620195, member: 10461"]Nice! I like the Belgian lion types. It's not hard to have the top pop example when yours is the only one graded! So you have the [I]only[/I] 1902 Belgian 2-centimes graded by PCGS, it seems! I had the only [URL='https://www.pcgs.com/cert/84207042']1874[/URL]! :) [SIZE=3](Somebody bought it from me last year- was it you? I can't remember now.)[/SIZE] [IMG]https://images.pcgs.com/TrueView/84207042_Medium.jpg[/IMG] Sure, the Pop.1 thing is fairly meaningless with most World coins (and some would argue that TPG populations are generally meaningless anyway), but it's still fun. I have several Pop.1 / none higher coins, but it's mostly by virtue of the fact that nobody has bothered to send any others of those particular dates and types in. That's fine- I'll proudly wear my "Top-Pop" T-shirt anyway, since stuff like this is the only time I'll ever be able to claim top-pop status. I do have one "top-pop, none higher" [URL='https://www.pcgs.com/cert/81865317']US piece[/URL], but it's a token, so again, one of those more esoteric things that not too many folks have submitted. When it comes to mainstream US regular mint issues, that's a different story, of course.
