Re: What is the future for coins with minor problems?
It might for some, depends on your strategy and what the core value of the collection is. I would continue to buy problem free material even if I get less of it less often.
Once a beginner with more cash and desire than experience, I’ve already learned what it’s like buying and selling problems and now that my tuition is (mostly) behind me, I’d rather not double dip in that end of the pool ever again. I’ve spent a long time high grading my collection and would never want to go backwards in this regard. Now that I’ve become an elitist snob, I recognize originality and cherish quality over quantity and if and when I go to sell I don’t want to present a piece with any “but for’s”.
As far as problems go, I don’t like to make someone else’s problem my problem at any price, although I am well aware there is a market for problem coins, I’m simply not interested in them.

Re: Hansen going CACG?
‘’I've had the pleasure of testing the CAC registry beta software. When the CAC registry goes live I think many people will eventually prefer it for several good reasons. Yes, Mr Hanson is one of many CACG investors.’’
I won’t be one of them, unless they also allow PCGS coins in their registry and I happen to decide to list my sets in a second place. I’ve “signed up” with PCGS and I don’t “jump ship” (even if, hypothetically, for a bit more money). Best of luck to Mr. Hansen (and CACG though).

Re: show me an MS67 coin in your collection
I'd guess the "easiest" series to find MS67s in is classic commemoratives. It seems like there are a lot. Here are three for which also I have True Views:
