<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 576989, member: 5233"]I don't know, I think in this day and age most people would be very worried about buying a high dollar coin raw because of all the modern counterfeiting methods. Even if they are an expert in the series. This is especially true of coins that are toned. If you make a mistake and are fooled by a good coin doctor, you could lose a lot of money. The slab offers an extra layer of protection. I find it funny when people rely exclusively on the slab and don't know anything about the coin before hand...but there are certain coins I wouldn't buy raw in a series that I know well (for example, I wouldn't buy an 1893-S Morgan raw).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
