<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1432654, member: 37839"]Most raw Morgans are dipped low grade mint state or AU coins, On Fleabay, everything is advertised as "blaser, blast white, gem, BU, MS 65, original white, Prooflike", etc. Some of those coins are low level non-dipped, MS coins from rolls, or just lying around. Others are better dates that have been circulated, and are well worn. Nothing wrong with buying raw Morgans, but remember that it is an exceedingly popular series, and finding a great raw Morgan is unlikely, as you are competing with dealers and knowledgeable experts, who would grab them up long before you'd see them. Are they worth slabbing? Yes, some of the better ones are, but posting a bad picture here, or half of the coin really doesn't reveal anything. Expect raw Morgans to have been well picked over, and be pleasantly surprised to find a really special one that didn't already make a slab.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
