[QUOTE="gbroke, post: 1103730, member: 22585"]Hey folks, I will be attending a large coin show this weekend and I have a few questions for you more experienced shoppers. I am looking to purchase a raw trade dollar and raw seated liberty dollar. I do not normally collect these, and I know little about them. They are for my Dansco 7070. I know these can get pretty pricey, and I didnt want to get them on ebay due to fakes, crappy pictures, etc..
