A 67 lettered edge sold for $3901 the other day. A 67 smoothie would bring a large chunk of change. I haven't seen one yet. Anyone checked the pop report to see if they exist?

Then you also have Messydesk's PCGS MS66 FDI GW with no edge lettering. Only 3 known to exist with the FDI insert and mint origin known. The other two are MS65.-
If you look at the NGC census you see that they aren't overgrading these coins (compared to PCGS as a reference) like they do bullion. But they are grading a lot more of them with a somewhat higher 67 rate. Lots of factors go into the relative pricing of PCGS and NGC coins. For one, the NGC coins get a lot of TV exposure so if the coins are selling to newbies who saw it on TV and know nothing else, sometimes the NGC coins go for a higher price. We saw that at the beginning of GW sales. OTOH, because NGC has earned a reputation for overgrading moderns with their bullion grading, the NGC washingtons don't seem to sell for quite as much as PCGS now that the buyers are becoming more educated.
I have not seen a NGC coin myself, even if I have, I cannot grade. But people who have told me that NGC coins looks to be one point lower at the MS64 and MS65 level.

Exactly, you don't need a magnifiyging glass or even to be a coin collector to recognize these. Just about every bank teller I talk to in florida about buying their raw coins responds like this when I ask if they've been picked over or am I getting all they've found: "Well, I'm thinking I'll put one or two away for my kids". Another one says she has a coworker with 50 of them but she's not selling. She believes they will pay for her kids college education. The demand for these is at least an order of magnitude higher than any other recent error...btw, I don't do errors either but I'm buying these.
Those numbers seem higher than I remember or expected.

Adding the pops, it looks like 24,038 total so far... I thought that there was also a "Brilliant Uncirculated" designation for the crappier ones...?wasn't there?
If 25,000 have already been slabbed, there has to be well over 100,000 of these out there.
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

Is this a correct number?
I had no idea that SO many had been found, let alone already sent in for grading.
