Message:: [QUOTE="900fine, post: 730305, member: 6036"]Perhaps another point of clarification : should we distinguish "overgraded" from "low end for the grade" ? Let's define "overgraded" as "off by a full point or more". We already have a majority "low end for the grade". The reason I don't think a majority will eventually be overgraded is because the Peter Principle affects some issues less than others. Low end coins get less push from the Peter Principle because there is so little driving force to submit over and over and over, which is required for the eventuality of residing in a coin coffin (i.e. overgraded). The great majority of coins are in this category. Which suggests that the greatest driving force is for valuable coins... unfortunately, the ones where 1 point of overgrade means bigger financial loss. All the more reason to grade for one's self (not surprising). Which suggests there's a greater chance of valuable coins being eventually overgraded, and thus a higher percentage overgraded at any given time. Comments, anyone ? Hmmmm.....  Right-o ! I used OP to refer to the text, not the person. But yep "Mike" is good ![/QUOTE]
