hi just a mention the population reports mean not much.
coins get graded, but people 1) break them out of the holder so they can drool/fondle the raw metal coin,
2) 'mechanical error' means the information might have been entered incorrectly by clerical staff,
3) I got a poor grade so I breakout the coin and send it off again or to a different grading service;i read one account from a dealer who resubmitted the same coin up to ten times. In his article he said he had half
a draw full of old slab labels he had not sent in to be taken off the population reports !! !
when I see a number of population I lays double it since the same grade coin is possibly in different TPG's holder.
when I see a population of X number of coins in higher grades for modern / recent coins I always believe that number will treble or go five times higher within a short time span ;)
cheers and regards :)
