Notes:
The 1907-S has come down in rarity from R5 [Rare] in the
last edition, even though its ranking in total mint state has actually moved
up one notch. This coin comes nice as a rule, accounting for the 18 coins
certified MS 65 and above [as of 1999]. However, those looking to put
together a certified AU set will have trouble - only two AU 55-58 currently
exist."1
The finest Uncirculated example graded by
PCGS is a single MS-68.
