in your opinion, how many top pop coins are over graded when compared to current pcgs grading?
what i mean is, if the coin was removed from the holder and regraded
would you see it falling a point or more by today's stricter standard?
do you think this top pop would get a cac sticker from JA knowing
he will be very critical of such a coin?
some top pops are so brain dead easy to identify due to no other coin
being close to it grade wise. Others have 10-100s right below it in
the next grade and could very well have been graded during the
beginning of PCGS existance to a much stricter standard.
Just how many top pops do you see that you just shake your head
and think that was a gift?
thanks.

I think Russ has grossly underestimated the quantity. Really.
I personally believe that a high percentage (if not an outright majority) of pop top coins are overgraded, inferior, reworked, doctored, conserved or otherwise not as good as they should be.

gotta be nuts! there's hardly any undergraded coins in plastic.

This is a very useful thing for a dealer to believe. It leads to "No, the coin in my inventory isn't the highest graded coin, but it's actually better because that one is overgraded (or you can substitute doctored, conserved, or otherwise not as good as it should be).

in this numismatic shell game? who knows.
For the folks on the forums, quite a few!
For those that submit them, not enough!
For those that paid big bucks and own them, who cares?

That's why you should buy the coin not the holder!

I have found power in the mysteries of thought.
It is always a question of knowing and seeing, and not that of believing.
Our virtues, and our failings are inseparable, like force, and matter. When they separate, man is no more.

I personally think many if not most of these MS and PF color toned ones have been helped along, and with the case of seated stuff and other silver outright dipped and allowed to retone under ideal circumstances.. it's one reason I prefer circulated stuff.... high end toned stuff has become a bit passe due to them being "created" in ever increasing numbers. To me creating a toned monster and getting it into plastic might be profitable, but it's nothing to be proud of. To me these coins are "messed with" just as much as a dipped AU coin that is blast white.
