Message:: [QUOTE="arl95, post: 119234, member: 4264"]Take a look at the web site at the bottom.  It tells you what kinds of coins were given what grades.  If you look at the total sales of ASE's in 2005 (8,405,000) then the total number graded MS69 by NGC (81,606) then do some big brain math you get 0.97% of all ASE's have been graded MS69 by NGC.  But that is misleading.  Because not all ASE's are graded by NGC, most are not graded at all.  So, if we look at it another way; the total 2005 ASE's graded by NGC = 86859, the total 2005 ASE's graded MS69 = 81606, again with the big brain math, you get  93.95% of all ASE's graded by NGC are graded MS69.  So, to answer your question, the odds of getting an MS69 ASE seem to be pretty good but alot depends on who you get them from.  And don't forget that if you buy UNC coins then you have to pay to have them graded,$12.50 per coin at NGC. <a href="http://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/poplookup-reportlarge.asp?PopSubCatID=76&Designation=MS" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/poplookup-reportlarge.asp?PopSubCatID=76&Designation=MS" rel="nofollow">http://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/poplookup-reportlarge.asp?PopSubCatID=76&Designation=MS</a>[/QUOTE]
