<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 3601875, member: 15309&quot;]Determining the number of coins that are graded is always a “best guess” scenario.&nbsp; There are no statistics for things like this and you know it.&nbsp; Why are you asking him for facts?&nbsp; Why don’t you just simply provide these “facts” to discredit him?&nbsp; The answer is that you don’t have the answers either, nobody does. That said, it is reasonable to conclude based on the number of coins graded vs the number of coins minted that the percentage of US coins certified is nowhere near 95%.&nbsp; Baseball pointed this out to Micbraun who quickly retreated from his hyperbolic number.</p><p><br /></p><p>So yes, saying the 95% is wrong, does in fact make him correct.&nbsp; And he’s under no obligation to provide you or anyone else factual evidence to prove his assertion; anyone with any common sense at all would know he is right.</p><p><br /></p><p>Furthermore, he used the word “many” to describe the high end coins because he understands that the percentage of $100K coins that are graded is much higher than the percentage of $100 coins.&nbsp; It was a hedge so that when he disputed the 95% number that nobody could come back at him and say “what about the ultra rarities?”&nbsp; It had nothing to do with him trying to skate around anything.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my question to you.&nbsp; What percent of US coins are graded?&nbsp; And remember, any number you give me better be supported by facts (your rules).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
