Being the dummy that I appear to be about this type of thing, I would appreciate your help with understanding a descriptive line in Heritage's upcoming sale offering of a 1945 FSB Mercury Dime. Dimefreak brought up this auction, but I didn't wish to steal his post. If a coin is listed as Population of 43 in coins graded MS64fsb then how could there be 51 finer? Does that mean there are 51 graded higher than MS64FSB. Just wondering. Never paid any attention to POP reports.

Thanks'

Jim

 

 

Population: 43 in 64 Full Bands, 51 finer (4/12).

Yes, populations are usually stated as X at the grade for the coin in question, with Y graded higher. So, based on the Heritage description, your understanding of the stated populations for FB 1945 dimes is correct.

Speaking of Heritage there buyers premium is going up to 17.5%. It was inevitable. Most collectables have been at this rate or higher for years. MJ
