<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 8290279, member: 112"]By limiting your question to coins dated before 1950, which by doing I can only assume you're trying to take the more modern coins out of the running, you're presenting a slightly different variation of the basic question covering all coins. There's nothing wrong with doing that and I can understand the reasoning behind it. You want the more modern coins removed so as not to skew the results. Or at least that's what I assume your desire is/was.</p><p><br /></p><p>But when you start asking questions like that you must also take into to consideration the time frame, as in when, what year/s the grading took place. To help illustrate what I'm talking about, I'd suggest you'd take a look at these two posts and threads, and make note of the dates of when they were posted.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/whizzed-coin-or-not.6104/#post-46890" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/whizzed-coin-or-not.6104/#post-46890">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/whizzed-coin-or-not.6104/#post-46890</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/pcgs-ms70.347080/#post-3719245" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/pcgs-ms70.347080/#post-3719245">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/pcgs-ms70.347080/#post-3719245</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And then for comparison purposes make note of what you see at this link, also provided in one of those posts - </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.pcgs.com/pop/pcgs-population-totals" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/pop/pcgs-population-totals" rel="nofollow">https://www.pcgs.com/pop/pcgs-population-totals</a></p><p><br /></p><p>- and compare that to the numbers you saw in those 2 posts.</p><p><br /></p><p>My point here of course is that changing grading standards, and when they were changed, makes all the difference in the world ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
