* Note that if you review the PCGS population, it shows two more coins than it should.
PCGS number 84141347 is listed as 1916 and counts towards the PCGS as MS64 for 1916, but, if you look at their own photo of the coin on the PCGS website for this coin, it is dated 1900.
PCGS number 84141346 is also counted in the PCGS population as the sole MS65 there, but, it has been crossed over to NGC.  NGC has already updated their population to show this, PCGS has not.
So, there are 20 graded examples at NGC and only 2 at PCGS.
