How many coins are actually registered?

Has anyone ever inquired to PCGS if they could develop a quasi population report which would tell us how many coins (by coin and grade) are actually registered? We know that the population reports are skewed because of crackouts. I think it would be helpful and interesting to know that if there was a population of 67 1925 Buffalo nickels in MS67 ( just a hypothetical) if there were 30 or 50 in the Registry.
Anybody have any thoughts?

I remember that at one time there were 4-1982-No/P MS67FB's graded and all 4 were in sets. Since then some have been sold (I bought 1) and 2 others were made.
I'm glad the Roosie is a boring and dead series to collect for some, in knowing that I know that the pops are not false, maybe to a +/- 5% at best, for certain dates.
Which actually comes to my next question which is this: If you have for instance a 1982-No/P MS67FB and the pop is 6/0, and 5 of them are locked in sets on the registry isn't that coin a pop 1/0 in your eyes? Wouldn't that make the coin worth just that much more knowing that this is the only coin available and the other 5 will never be for sale? What if you had a 1969-D MS66FB pop 8/4 and all of the next grade higher are in sets on the registry, along with lets say 4 other 66FB's, wouldn't this be considered a 4/0?
Mansco, I hope I didn't de-rail your thread. I just got rolling on some registry thoughts.

Your response was exactly in line with my thinking. If this info was available, it might have some impact on how I value a coin that I'm pursuing.
I hope others have some thoughts and that maybe PCGS will consider added this feature.

Not a cure all, but it would be a good start to a skanky problem.
