Observations On Odd ICCS Token Populations

I picked up the 2012 ICCS population report today and flipped through the new section on tokens.

I know that most token collectors don't care too much about ICCS grading. I think that publishing the populations was a brilliant business development move by ICCS. I am sure many will now see an incentive to get tokens of low population varieties certified.

I was quite surprised about some of the population data. First I was surprised at how few of most tokens are certified. In many cases it is only a handful.

But there are a few tokens with astoundingly large populations. No doubt they are tokens that were part of a hoard or two. Given the ICCS populations, I am surprised that you don't see more of them for sale.

So, as I said most tokens have tiny populations. Hardly any have over 10 in any grade and some have only a couple graded. There are very very few MS tokens.

But here are the anomolies:

LC48C2: 17 in AU55 and 252 in MS60!
LC54D2: 14 in AU55 and 59 in MS60!
LC60E1: 1 in AU55 and 111 in MS60!
LC60E2: 6 in AU55, 214 in MS60, 12 in MS62 and 2 in MS63.

Any else looked at this? Any thoughts?
