<p>[QUOTE="MAKECENTS, post: 1929796, member: 29930"]Some problems.......people selling raw Morgans on eBay are not usually people looking to give away profit. Or ignorant folks. They are usually raw for a reason most likely because they are not financially wise to slab. Ie it isn't going to increase price much. Now if you are up to par with grading Morgans I myself sometimes try to pick dealers for coins that they conservatively grade and slab them myself. But to do this you need a good sense of the way the tpg companies grade and still I don't think it is very profitable. All in all in my opinion I think its almost impossible to consistently hit coins that score high grades from the slab companies. It is too hard for a beginner to grade through pictures IMHO. Now if you want to just hand pick your Morgans and slab each one without a care about money heck go for it. Just try to be picky remember Morgans are very popul#r and you want a real choice example.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
