coin bidders, buyers, collectors......
you MUST be aware of the 'WORD PLAY' used by sellers. they will tell you ANYTHING to get you to buy their coin!
i see all of this mis-leading info, so often, all over the place, it's NOT EVEN FUNNY ANYMORE.....& because you do not know any better, the price you pay for these coins.....your grandchildren's grandchildren might not realize!
:eureka:
THE "POPULATION COUNTS" LISTED ON THE CONECA WEBSITE,....ARE COINS THAT JIM HAS PERSONALLY SEEN/INSPECTED,.....
N-O-T A "POPULATION COUNT" OF CERTIFIED COINS.....&, makes it sound as if there have only been 5 ever found!
BEWARE THE :s .........or better yet....ASK US!.....that's why we are here
You Must be Aware of Word Play #2......

Re: You Must be Aware of Word Play #2......
We have also seen them use a grading co. population to deceive bidders/buyers. Great call Paul. You obviously have much experience sorting out this deceptive baloney. One of my hero's said there is "a sucker born every minute." Paul is here and this site is here to make sure that that sucker is not YOU!!!
