<p>[QUOTE=&quot;okbustchaser, post: 3315034, member: 72642&quot;]It could also be raw because the owner wanted it raw. That&#039;s simply my preference.&nbsp; It has nothing at all to do with whether or not a coin has a problem.&nbsp; I&#039;ve bought raw coins valued up to mid-four digits--not because they had problems but because their previous owner simply didn&#039;t want them in plastic.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, most of the coins I buy today are certified by one of the major TPGs.&nbsp; Not necessarily because I want them that way--I don&#039;t--but because people recognize that they can charge more for the same coin. I don&#039;t blame them.&nbsp; Were I in the business of buying and selling coins for profit I would want to reap the higher price they bring as well.&nbsp; Because I&#039;m not in that business, though, I have probably <b>UN-</b>submitted a couple of hundred coins over the past 30 years--coins ranging in value from double digits that I don&#039;t think even you would believe belong in slabs to coins worth low 5 digits that admittedly even I would want certified before I bought them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
