With the current interest on MPL's, I thought you might like an update on third party grading services population numbers. PCGS & NGC numbers are as of today 11/06/07 and ANACS numbers are as of 9/17/07 although a brief review of their numbers today shows no change.
Date..........Pcgs.......Ngc........Anacs........Total.......Mintage........%
1909VDB......97.........47............23............167...........420......39.8%
1909..........390.......203............95............688.........2198......31.3%
1910..........331.......215..........119............665.........2405......27.7%
1911..........320.......167..........112............599.........1733......34.6%
1912..........324.......181..........112............617.........2145......28.8%
1913..........416.......275..........123............814.........2848......28.6%
1914..........273.......149............85............507.........1365......37.1%
1915..........220.......107............65............392.........1150......34.1%
1916..........169.........85............46............300.........1050......28.6%
TOTALS.....2540.....1429..........780..........4749.......15314......31.0%
Back on April 14, 2004 I compiled a similar listing.
1909VDB......84.........43............23............150
1909..........337.......171............93............601
1910..........279.......177..........111............567
1911..........275.......137............93............505
1912..........266.......144..........101............511
1913..........366.......227..........108............701
1914..........229.......125............74............428
1915..........189.........90............57............336
1916..........121.........73............44............238
TOTALS....2146......1187.........704..........4037
So, in about three and one half years, the three grading services added 712 MPL's. Obviously, some were resubmissions. Only 17 of the 1909VDB Matte proofs were added, 13 by PCGS and 4 by NGC. This 3 1/2 year period occurred during a very strong coin market. The fact that so few MPL's were slabbed by the major TPG's attests to the scarcity of these coins.

Hopefully the pops will be going down by a few dozen in coming weeks.
