While I have become used to slabs, there is something to be said about being able to pick up a raw coin and examine it. It would be a fun experience.
Nice report! What would you say is the breakdown among raw vs slabbed coins at a London show like this? I'm guessing it the amount of raw...
That's a good point too. While we have often heard about old holders being sources of undergraded coins (of course there are some but not as many...
Great photos of some lovely coins/medals!

Welcome to another coin show report from yours truly; this one is a collection of my experiences and observations ~there was no line to register...
Just a warning that the coins they sell in slabs also have doctored/juiced photos. They know how to make a coin that is at best semi-pl look ultra...
Got it! :D

Nice examples! I briefly owned a 5 Kopek but sold it. Found the picture: [IMG] [IMG]

Lord M is certainly great for the forum and the hobby! Glad to hear that you got at least a bit of good news.
Very nice variety!
I picked a more common date (1853) in AU 55 grade and looked at the PCGS guide history. There is certainly not as much movement as there is in...
Need another few dollars to break even on the silver proof sets that sell for under melt nowadays. :p
I had not heard of them either. It looks like an auction house out of Switzerland. The NAC mentioned in the original post was a basement grader...
I would imagine the premium to gold have decreased. They certainly have for gold $20s and raw pre-1933 common date gold. I think the quarter eagle...
Coin A ...here I like the CircCam look ...coin B does not look as appealing to my eye
