Just over 11% of Heritage's 1882-CC offerings are PL/DMPL. I would expect that, due to the GSA sales, to be much larger, since so few of them were...
Yes, exactly. As a pure percentage of total, you'd expect things like MS63 1881-S's to dominate Heritage since their slab Pops exceed 50k. Which,...
Don't forget, those figures are comparative only and almost certainly do not represent the true percentage of extant coins with those attributes....
I use the Heritage archives to develop relative scarcity ideas about the percentage of PL/DMPL's for a given year. Their archive is large enough...
Not necessarily. Coin imaging plays at the edge of appropriate depth of field - the line between sufficient DoF and diffraction is a fine one, and...
Unsure. This is a place where I'm prepared to be proven wrong.

Let's see what everyone else thinks. Personally, I'm done trying to get through to you.
You are so caught up in your own narrowminded view of how things " Sean, rust pits are positives on the struck coin, not negatives. And your...
My optimism for the Hobby of Kings is unbounded. The Internet has created a vast portal connecting those who know with those who might want to,...
Nothing about the perceived vituperation in this thread - and it only exists because of misperception - changes the fact that yours is a coin...
*sigh*
Crack it and get it into acetone if you're not majorly out-of-pocket on it. If you do, seal it into the acetone bath, leave it in a chill area...
An early ANACS UDM is a blistering coin; that was a period when (IMO) they were tougher on mirroring than anyone else. I used the term...
Heck, it's obvious on my phone which doesn't resolve in HD. I don't even want to look at it at 2560x1440 stuffed into 27" on my PC monitor. :)
