Notes:
"The 1901-O&S are both hard to obtain. The 1901-O is slightly more available, but comes with a much softer strike than either of the other two. Finding decent specimens will be possible if your expectations are not too high."¹^{The finest Uncirculated example graded

by PCGS is a single MS-67.}
