Numeric Talleying Of "Known" Classic Coins?

In a word, no. The known population of most coins is a rough estimate at best. Some coins do have very well known provenance, such as the 1913 Liberty nickels and 1804 Dollars. The provenance of top coins is typically derived from decades of auction records and references in numismatic literature. The problem is that few coins warrant a treatment such as this and unless you are dealing with a high five or six figure coin, provenance is largely irrelevant. Another source of known population figures comes from the grading services. These can be a bit deceptive though as not all coins are ever submitted for grading while some coins are submitted multiple times in an attempt to get a grade bump that can result in a value increase of thousands of dollars.
