[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2103301, member: 15929"]We'll have to wait for next Monday to Validate the Populations on this one since, unless you have a registry set, the pops won't get updated until Late Sunday Evening. BTW, there are no sets registered that would have this coin in it and the specs give it a "Weighting" of only 2.00 while a regular 1838-O Proof gets a weight of 4.00?? Sometimes I have to wonder exactly how they calculate those weights? The registry states: "For weighted sets, the rarest coin in the set may have a weight of "10" and the most common coin will have a weight of "1." The grades are multiplied by the weights. That total is divided by the total number of coin weights. That gives the "Weighted Grade Point Average." The "Set Rating" is achieved by dividing the weighted grade sum by the total sum of the weights in the entire set. All sets are listed in order of their Set Rating. " The 1838-O has a pop of 3.[/QUOTE]
