<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1934 Wreath Crown, post: 3418746, member: 76965&quot;]I was just curious if anyone here has owned or does own a substantial portion of the entire graded population of any coin and how did that work out for you in the end. I am obviously talking about a reasonably scarce coin with a maximum graded/known population of 30-40 coins between the two big players NGC and PCGS. </p><p><br /></p><p>Over the years I focused my attention largely to GB sovereigns. Unintentionally, or perhaps my subconscious is getting the better of me <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, I ended up owning 4 to 5 examples of some key date and type sovereigns with a reasonably small graded population of a maximum of 40 coins, from a small initial mintage number anyway. I&#039;m talking about 140-160 year old coins with an initial mintage of no more than 20-150,00.</p><p><br /></p><p>These were not proof versions issued purely for presentation or collectors but business strikes which went into circulation. Hard to guess how many survived. Had these been US coins, I&#039;m sure their values would be in the hundreds of thousands but alas sovereigns don&#039;t command such premium prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wanted to know if anyone else here has or had a fairly sizable slice of any coin&#039;s population and how did it work out after a few years or 10. I&#039;m still hoping that if supplies dry out or dwindle, I can offload some of these at a handsome gain.</p><p><br /></p><p>Or am I living in a fool&#039;s paradise??!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
