I would say that I have seen a few 1869 pennies in UNC grade, but I have never seen what I would class a true UNC 1864. With the 1878, it is a date that I have seen sparingly in UNC grade but I've seen 30 odd in AU grade. The other coins I have not seen in UNC condition are the 1874 G obverses, 1879 narrow date, 1908*, 1909*, 1911 neck, 1913 (the scarier type), 1915 broken tooth, 1926, 1934 and almost all the coins that Freeman lists as R15 and over. That out of the way an old sod like me has only come across 2 1872 pennies that were proper UNC with a fully formed clear shield

I think I can honestly say I've never been scared by a coin, except when I dropped my EF+ 1797 2d on the floor, but luckily the edge was undamaged.
