<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 2364795, member: 37839&quot;]I agree with you that it is far from unequivocal.&nbsp; The stats tend to support that the cc DMPLs tend to be far pricier than equivalently graded coins from, let&#039;s say New Orleans, or Philadelphia.&nbsp; San Francisco is a special case, as DMPLs are either very common ( early 1879s, 1880s, 1881s 1882s) or extremely hard to find ( 1886s 1887s 1888s 1889s).&nbsp;&nbsp; If I were to post a PCGS pop chart and value in let&#039;s say MS 65, you would see the population of the cc DMPL and PL coins are just not that rare, compared to some of the O mint ones of the same date.&nbsp; I do think it is perception, rather than reality---people look at the 1,133,000 mintage of the 1882cc and think it is uncommon, in comparison to other dates that have, say 8-10 million mintages.&nbsp; However, with the GSA horde, over 50% survival rate is the rule.&nbsp; Can&#039;t say for sure what the survival rate of the others is--it is estimated fairly accurately, but just estimated.&nbsp; Remember, that 1902 o and 1904 o were considered rare, until a bank horde revealed scads of them.&nbsp; It is all relative to perception and demand.&nbsp; I do agree with you that any nice DMPL, and any affordable CC DMPL is a good coin to grab up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
