75,082

Can you beat that number?

Find the PCGS-graded coin in your collection with the highest pop number plus pop higher number combination (add the two together). See if you can go higher than 75,082. My coin is pop 43,753 with 31,329 higher. Pretty sobering. Too easy to find these.

I will post the coin later.

Nothing in my collection has montages anywhere near that high. Forget about pops.

That is pretty sobering. I wonder where they all are.

Not a chance of cracking 75,000.

I come up with 6,344 (2644+3700) - a 1907 $2.50 in MS63.

Shouldn't this be in the OCD thread?

I am the proud owner of an 1887 MS64 Morgan. Common as dirt but I still like it anyway.

Sold them.....
Just looked and worst case now is a AU58 half dollar at about 19K and it is trying to find a new home.

MrBreeze

Could be a mid 20s Saint. Those seem to have abnormally high pops. I don't think it necessarily equates to population for some coins that have abnormal increases in price between one point in MS.

Looks like you have to collect Morgan Dollars to play this game.

My best (worst): 151,026

Yes, a 1881-S Morgan (in a rattler holder). Beats everything else by a country mile.

I had no idea how many Morgans have been graded.

Not really. Currently I have the "low high" at 159 + 46 = 205 for an MS65 1860 cent (struck from proof dies!)
Next is 83 + 30 = 113 for a 1909 cent in PR65RB
Third is 50 + 15 = 65 for a 1916 cent in PR65RB

Sorry, didn't complete the math.

1881-S Morgan (MS63):

Population: 55,911
Higher: 151,026
----------------
Total: 206,937

My #2 is a 1932 $10 in 63.

17,856/10,803 = 28,659

It's weird, PCGS' math seems to be off.

I have two 1881-S Morgans: one MS63, one MS64.

In my PCGS inventory it lists the pop and pop higher as:

MS63: 55,911 151,026 (total: 206,937)
MS64: 89,424 61,542 (total: 150,966)

Actually, it looks okay to be. The 151k higher than the 63 is the 89k (in 64) plus the 61k (higher) (all numbers rounded).

Gotcha. So a low-grade 1881-S will have a huge number.

Thanks!

Just went thru my dimes and the highest number I could find was around 2000. Most were under 1000 with most of those under 100.

Morgan's really are common....but popular.
