[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3719245, member: 112"]Well, if you think that's a surprise, take a look at this. But first, better make sure your're sitting down. This link is the current Total Population report for PCGS - [URL]https://www.pcgs.com/pop/pcgs-population-totals[/URL] As you can see they have graded over 4.3 million coins as 70. That's Proof and business strike combined. But things were a bit different not all so long ago. This is what the Total Population report looked like near the end of 2003. [ATTACH=full]996895[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]996897[/ATTACH] As you can see, Proof and MS70 combined are under 5,000, with only 215 of them being MS.
