First of all, greetings to any old board friends who read this post! I haven't been on the boards much over the past couple of years, but I'm still around and kickin', so hello to all!
I'm doing some indepth research on the Classic Head Gold $ 2 1/2 and $5 series. One thing I could use in my research is old PCGS and NGC Population Reports, especially going all the way back to the early days. I'll buy em, beg for em, borrow em, (won't steal em), or if I can just get copies of the CHG pages, any way I can get them. Just let me know if you got them.
Part of the research involves using the Population Reports to assist in attempting to document the true population of graded Classic Head gold pieces existant. We've all wondered just how accurate the population reports are for the many series after so many years of gradings, crackouts, crossovers, resubmissions, and what not. So as part of my overall research on CHG, I am combining research on all auctions of CHG with other info that I have, with tracking the history of Pop Reports to see what might be done. I've already had some success in proving out inaccuracies in the current population reports, but have found that it is really critical to be able to track the populations month by month, quarter by quarter.
So help me out with any Pop Reports if you got em. Thanks.

Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.

there are at least 3-5 people doing extensive work for these 2 series.
searching these boards will lead you down the path to the answers you seek
.
on a side note: how many die pairings/marriages do you have listed for the 2.5 and 5?
i'll cross-reference some of your info with my own to see if there is something i can pass along to you

I wonder if this is something that the ANA library might have?
I am still looking. Particularly I could use NGC reports around the 1994 to 2002 time frame. If you have any, or any others, please reply.
It has been an interesting project so far. For instance, I'm currently doing research on the 1834 Proof $5 Classic Head Gold. The $5 Proofs are listed in the "100 Greatest U.S Coins" and are an extreme rarity. By far the most available date is the 1834 (CHG $5 was minted from 1834 - 1838 only). The most authoritative information to date is from Breen's encyclopedia of Proof coins where he states that there are at least 12 known. I've found Breen's information circumspect in that he may have studied the die varieties as well as anybody ever has, and had a wealth of current knowledge about market activity in his time, but his conclusions about surviving populations didn't have the benefit of what we have now - the internet, digital pictures, and population reports. Breen's information on the 12 known coins appears to be quite a bit off the mark. We'll see when the research is complete.
