[URL]http://www.cointalk.com/t155416/[/URL] This coin is a top pop piece with a population of 10 pieces and none higher. This is a SCARCE and expensive coin for an Ike. I sent this coin in as the only Ike dollar in a modern coin order. Did this coin get the grade because it was the only one in the order? If I sent this coin in a lot of other Ikes... would it have graded the same? I have had orders recently that I KNOW are monsters... but all but a coin or 2 fall a grade or sometimes 2 short... Is their something to be said about a grader looking at ONE nice example of a certain coin series rather then 10. Do submissions of multiple coins of the same series get suppressed because they don't want to look as if they are grading loose? Thoughts?[/QUOTE]
