Im pretty sure I was able to Cherrypick a very, nice one of these this week. Waiting for the coin to come in, but looks promising. This was another that I was able to pick a while back, but it has obvious damage and has been cleaned. These seem to be pretty rare, can't find many sale records for MS examples. Anyone have one? This is one of my favorite varieties in the series, the most dramatic MPD in the series as well! Close up of the MPD - Numerous "1" digits punched into the pearls.  My first one:   |

Thanks @Coinfrog,
Just to be clear, the first picture is not the coin I purchased this week. That was one I found online.
The one I found this week will be a top 10 census coin, but not in the absolute top tier.

I picked up an ANACS MS62 via Heritage a few years ago. But you are right, identified, higher grade pieces don't come up too often. Scarce might be a better word than rare.

Still no coin in hand. Should be delivered tomorrow. Might not be able to post pics until Monday, but thought I would take a screenshot off the NGC website. Here is a pic of the obverse.  NGCs pictures are very dark, so I changed the exposure a little bit. Looks pretty clear to be a S-6! |

Certainly looks like a snow-6. Incredible pick! This is no easy variety to find. Probably one of the most dramatic MPDs in the series, and a personal favorite. Big congrats on a great variety!

Results are in.....we have a winner!! There are some marks present on the slab, those are not on the coin. NGC MS64RB, although the reverse is completely BN. (I would have graded this as a BN coin, but Ill take the grade!)   |
