[QUOTE="900fine, post: 730270, member: 6036"]You betcha. Yes, I do largely agree. I agree with the OP to an certain [I]extent[/I]. The key word throughout this thread is [I]extent[/I]. Yes, there is a "Peter Principle" tendency for [I][B]some[/B][/I] coins to wind up in overgraded slabs and get stuck there (a coin coffin). That is very reasonable; in fact, it's very difficult to refute. In that respect, the OP is right on. But the OP said <emphasis mine> I personally, IMHO, do not believe that to be true. I do not believe the tectonic forces at work will push 51% - 100% of coins into overgraded holders. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe we have 51% overgraded now*. The existence of the phrase [I][B]"if not all"[/B][/I] suggests that the OP was possibly considering "majority" to be a great majority - perhaps 70% or more - since the upper range of possibility was 100%. My [I]only[/I] concern with the OP is one of [I]extent[/I]. Qualitatively, he's right on. Quantitatively, I believe it's overstated. That's all I'm saying. [SIZE=1]* [I]That [/I]oughta throw some gasoline on the fire ! :)[/SIZE][/QUOTE]
