TOP POP, the finest graded by NGC. Unusual oval shape. Occasionally unholed, but usually found with either a slot or with both a slot and a hole at the top. This is the “short rays of light” variety. The miner’s head lamps have rays representing light which gives the appearance of an Indian Headdress. Variety SH 6-78.1 has longer rays of light and the buckets hanging from above are reversed, low on the left and high on the right. Made by W.W. Frisholm of Leadville, Colorado.
