The cycle of the coin maker is:
Buy, crack, submit, sticker, repeat.
Hypothetically if the top 10 graders were able to grade all TPG coins and the average would establish the "real grade".
Then what do you think the percentage of these coins would have a TPG label grade higher than the "real grade"?
In other words, what % of TPG coins are currently over graded?
Buy, crack, submit, sticker, repeat.

Granted, the opinions of experienced 'graders' lend some degree of uniformity to the results.
This is the best that can be hoped for until measurable, consistent standards are developed - and, likely computerized. So, yes, there are over graded coins, there are under graded coins.. that is the nature of the hobby at this time. Cheers, RickO

I don't know where you get this but it's a farcical notion.
An over graded but nice coin is something that I can deal with and will have a price where it clears the market and eventually finds its center of gravity at an appropriate grade. A processed coin is harmful regardless of grade and takes cover under the conditioning of the market that "market acceptable" is acceptable.

It all depends on the era of grading in which one learned how to grade. Grading standards in one's formative years of becoming a numismatist certainly have an effect on his opinion. If you learned to grade in the early 1990s like I did, you might think ~50% of modern slabbed coins are overgraded. Among the accurately graded coins, I still reject 90% or more of them based on eye appeal and/or asking price. No wonder I don't buy too much anymore.
The other TPGs 100% and I'm standing by that
If you ask what percentage may, at some future time, exist in a holder at a different grade, I would say it depends on your time horizon.
Consensus opinion and what the market "likes" is always a moving target. Market grading will always chase this.

if we consider that 25% of the 30mil coins graded by PCGS have been removed from their holders it still leaves 22.5mil PCGS graded coins in the marketplace. do the math and tell me how many coins you think you look at in a year --- different coins.
