[QUOTE="900fine, post: 758158, member: 6036"]I agree with illini's post. Yes, the pop numbers are off. But nothing's perfect. The people census isn't perfect, yet we use it to make all sorts of big decisions; same with the coin census. illini's example of pop 10 vs pop 100 illustrates this beautifully. It's also helpful to look at pop numbers to get an idea of which coins are more scarce relative to price / grade. For example, look at [B]MS64 Indian $10s[/B]. The overwhelming majority of the MS64s are dated 1926 or 1932. There are many other dates with similar price tags and much, much lower pops. IMO they are better buys.[/QUOTE]
