[QUOTE="Owle, post: 1408443, member: 22004"]Good point! You go to a big show, Whitman, the ANA shows, etc. and what do you see predominantly on the bourse floor? Certified common coins, high end rarities, type coinage both raw and certified, risky raw coins that came back in a problem holder and the dealer cracked it. There does not seem a high correlation between what is seen at a show and certified populations because many coins are better sold one at a time by telemarketers or in auction venues. Population figures for various series are available on the Heritage site for members as well as the NGC and PCGS sites for members. NGC lists 5023 early dimes (1796-1837) in all certified grades. NGC lists 34685 early halves in all grades. To these numbers you can add many, many at other services and that are in collections and dealer inventories as raw coins.[/QUOTE]
