Shield Nickel missing leaf pop report

Zing

Is there anywhere I can find a pop report or does anyone have an idea what the population report would be on the missing leaf variety by date on the Shield Nickel. They are not listed on PCGS pop report unless I am missing something.

Anyone getting involved with Shield Nickel varieties (and there are many, many varieties) should be concerned with "buy" prices and not "sell" prices. Make sure there is a real market for such items before paying premiums for such varieties.

That is true with a LOT of varieties. And good advise.
