Folks, they are out there. I finally found one and it was as amazing as you would expect. This was part of my normal weekly hunt through 4 boxes and was the coin I have been waiting years to find. Have a pic here and if you don't believe it, the video too.

Nice find Ace!

I've found only one, an 1894 that was in a CWR, and that was back about 2009.
