While I will agree with experts surviving mintage's, it's pretty ard to buy into some TPG populations, who many coins are cracked out and resubmitted. A friend at PCGS say almost every time a certain gold coin gets sold it returns to them for a regrade always raw (cracked out), they can tell due to a small nick on the coin, it's a five figure coin $5.00 eagle I think. He said the TPGs population on the coin is higher than the total mintage. That happens more so on borderline grade coins where there is a tremendous price jump.
So take the TPGs populations with a grain of salt.
