My first (and probably last) Hypothetical Topic. What will PCGS do if the POP of a coin exceeds the
ms70
Posts: 13,956 ✭✭✭✭✭
Hypothetically, let's take the 1792 Half Disme of which only 1500 were made. Over the next few decades the PCGS Population Report on these climbs to 1501+ as submissions are made.
How will they reflect this or adjust this in the POP report? Or will they just let it roll?
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

Mike, a number of people believe considerably more than 35 Proof 1867 Rays nickels were produced. There are, however, probably at least a few cases in which known/verifiable mintage numbers of a given coin have already been exceeded on the population reports. When I get really bored, I might see if I can find them.
.... blame it on the hanging chads? HELLO 2001 CALLED, THEY WANT THEIR JOKE BACK.

Way more than 35 .... IMO it's the most overrated 19th century rarity.
Try the 1884 trade dollar .... I think at one time more than ten were on the pops at either PCGS or NGC...
The mintage figure historically associated with the '67 w/rays proof is more likely the figure for the '67 w/out rays prototype reverse (which probably makes it one of the most underrated 19th century rarities). That could explain the disparity.

Coin Facts shows an est. 75 on that proof mintage so its anybodies guess.

<< <i>Check out 1870-S half dimes. They only minted one yet PCGS shows two graded, one in MS-63 and another in MS-64. It seems that it would be easy to correct, but they have not yet done so. >>
I would argue that they shouldn't. That would open a Pandora's Box, and the expectation would be placed on them to correct all the other pops, too.
[Edit to add: Actually, they may have minted two '70-S half dimes, if in fact the second one is in the Granite Lady's cornerstone.]

Which one is in the cornerstone---the 63 or the 64?
