I don't agree with this. Didn't alot of the Benson pedigree coins get resubmitted and many of the coins received one grade higher at the second try without the pedigree histroy. Why didn't NGC overgrade the first time? Bass coins that I have seen have not looked overgraded. Which important collection would fall under this assumption?

All the big-ticket, big-name coins with provenance, such as 1804 dollars and 1913 nickels, have been overgraded. I've seen plenty of lesser priced coins from rich collectors who've died also overgraded, including Eliasberg and Pittman. I bought a coin from the Miller collection that was overgraded by ICG. Here's a page I put together as part of a larger site about Draped Bust coins. The last coin illustrated is a Pittman coin that NGC overgraded by ten points (taking into consideration the wear and marks -- the marks aren't completely visible in the photo):
