Darkside Top Pop

[trozau]

Post your darkside top pop coins. Here are mine:

 

a) No Woman, No Cry

 

 

b) Babylon Sisters

 

 

c) UK 1991 Sovereign Gold Proof Set

My signature line coin is one. I haven't photographed the rest of the year set, but they are all top pops. 1/0's.

 

Then again, the entire population of them is 1

What does "top pop" mean? Does it mean it has to be 1/0 or can it be 2/0?

[satootoko]

I may be the forum's poorest expert on slabs, but it seems to me that any # / 0 coin is a "top pop" no matter what that number is.

 

BTW, was a PCGS rep standing there bagging and numbering at least the first 56 2000 5p coins ejected?

[MunkyMan95]

I'd agree.

[Zoins]

I have a 69 that might be one but I have no idea how to check

[Yarm]

Zoins, assuming you're not kidding, if the coin is NGC just go to their site and access the free census. If PCGS, post the (first) coin number from the slab and I'll look it up on the PCGS census. Any other TPG, fuggetaboutit!!

[Zoins]

I can't seem to find it in the Census or via the Registry cert num search. Am I missing something or is this a counterfeit

 

[Yarm]

Zoins, I was able to call up your coin by cert number. However, there is no pop data for the coin (See "The dismal state....)

[Zoins]

Thanks for looking it up yarm. I still have no idea how to look up a cert. I get "no results" for every kind of way I try to put the number in the search field. Maybe I'm using the wrong form? I did manage to get it into a Signature Set but that's it, no successful queries of any kind.

 

Anyway, I figure it's better for me to not be into the Registry or I might be tempted to certify the rest of my Unicorns I'm looking at a few other NGC world coins that also aren't in the pop....

[Yarm]

Once you log onto to the Collectors Society, you should go to "coins" and then "verify certification." The number on your NGC slab gets entered in 2 parts (which I believe represent your invoice number and coin number on the invoice.) Try it, you'll like it!

[Zoins]

Thanks yarm. I'll play with it some more and see what I think. So far I've been having more fun collecting than slabbing. I have a bunch of stuff that is slabable but haven't been able to bring myself to pull the trigger yet.
