[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1351609, member: 112"]The top two numbers were chosen because they were the ones with the lowest populations, consistently for 16 years. And because they are the ones that are supposed to be the hardest to get. As I stated earlier, the total number of submissions haven't changed much in about 10 years. According to PCGS they grade about 100k coins a month, NGC about 150k a month. Do you seriously believe that submissions in a 13 month period of time would be anything but a fraction of the number of submissions for the previous 16 years ? When the populations of the two highest grades, for 5 different denominations of coins, all increase by 300% - 1000%, and all in the space of 13 months, there is no explanation that is plausible besides a change in the grading standards.[/QUOTE]
