Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1349932, member: 112"]19Lyds - First of all we are comparing all coins graded and slabbed from 1986 (PCGS) and 1987 (NGC) until the end of 2003 - with all coins graded from the start of 2004 until March of 2005 which is when the numbers were assembled. So we are comparing 16 years worth of graded coins to 13 months worth of graded coins. And then looking at how the populations of the 69 and 70 graded coins increased in that 13 month period of time. Note - I say 13 months because the pop numbers were gathered in March of 2005. And since it takes basically 2 months for coins to go through the grading system at NGC and PCGS, the only grades that would be included in the pop numbers would be those assigned by the end of Jan 2005 - or 13 months. As for the number of submissions, they have been basically the same for about 10 years now, back to 2002 say. And probably further back than that. But for the sake of argument let's say the submissions increased in 2004. But to even try to imagine that the submissions increased enough in that 1 year period of time to change the pop numbers as much as they changed, that's totally unbelievable. It's almost ludicrous.[/QUOTE]
