Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3026334, member: 112"]You want great evidence ? All you gotta do is look at the historical pop reports. Or if you have a good enough memory, you'll already know. And then of course there's the coins themselves - they are the best evidence of all because the coins don't change, only the grades on the slabs do - and they very, very rarely do anything but go up ! You can also consider this. By 2004 the TPGs, NGC and PCGS, had slabbed approx 25 million coins. Now, go look and see how many coins you can find that are still in the slabs from that time period and before. Sure, you'll find a few, but I can almost guarantee you it will be less than 10% of that 25 million. Do you know why ? Because about 90% of those 25 million coins are now in newer slabs with higher grades on them ! And if you doubt that then you better ask yourself why it's a known fact that coins in older slabs are bought up before you can blink, cracked out, and sent in to be re-graded. It's done for one reason - because they get higher grades when they are. Like I said, they'll send the coins to whoever gives them the highest grades. And if you want to throw in SEGS, and ANACS and ICG - ok throw 'em in. Every single one of them is still in business aren't they ? Why do you suppose that is ? It's because different people have different opinions about which one is going to give them what they want.[/QUOTE]
