<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheMont, post: 2564712, member: 80121&quot;]Don&#039;t forget all the people who crack open slabs, numerous times, to get a higher grade and thus a higher price for their coin. One person can inflate the population of a particular coin by doing the above practice.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then there&#039;s the TV coin shows who invent their own grading company, charge as if it was graded by a top tier grading company, and then claim that the coin has a low population number. I&#039;ve always disliked the term &quot;population&quot;, I&#039;ve always felt that the less informed confused this term for mintage. Less popular coins are less likely to be graded, and therefore have a low &quot;population&quot;. Invented TPGSs will always have a low population for coins it &quot;grades/certifies&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I got a huge kick out of the TV show selling Donald Trump labeled 2016 proof ASEs. They keep saying, over and over, that it had a low population and could run out, when all they have to do is make more. Borders on false advertising. Wait until they bring those &quot;&quot;certified&quot; coins to a dealer to sell.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
