<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gmarguli, post: 324505, member: 246&quot;]This is not an accurate assessment of the availability of these coins in this condition. Buy 100 coins blind and submit them and I guarantee you will not get (6) in MS69 and (54) in MS68 as the percentages graded would imply. </p><p><br /></p><p>Most of the modern coins graded by NGC &amp; PCGS come in thru their bulk submission program. These submissions have a minimum grade with coins grading lower not being slabbed or reflected in the population reports. You submit 100 coins and request a minimum grade of MS65 and 30 coins end up slabbing at MS65 or higher. You never see the 70 coins that didn&#039;t slab, only the 30 that did. You can&#039;t assume that those <i>modern</i> coins listed in the pop reports are reflective of the overall quality of coins available. They usually aren&#039;t![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
