<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coppermania, post: 815826, member: 18304&quot;]Sometimes I can&#039;t afford not to slab a coin. For instance I recently purchased a complete set of raw Lincoln cents. I study this series and collect it exclusively and feel confident in what each coin grades based on wear and color. I take expert photos and describe each coin honestly when listed on the &quot;bay&quot; and I still sent off the SVDB, 22 Plain, 14 D and the 55 DD as the difference in grade and even authenticity are huge differences in the marketplace. The other coins I can handle and most collectors feel the same. I am also suspicius of un-graded coins in the marketplace as being bodybag victims, but I usually see that in dealers stock and I&#039;m still amazed at how many raw coins are still out there in personal collections owned by people that don&#039;t even know there are TPG&#039;s in existance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
