<p>[QUOTE="CoinKeeper, post: 795966, member: 16707"]I purchasing alot of older US pre-1900 coins raw since they're readily available, you can get some at a great deal, and there's way more selection than slabbed coins (in my grade/price range). For mintstate coins, I will only buy them slabbed since I feel more comfortable knowing it's exact grade when buying. It's hard tell the difference between MS66 and 67, or 66 and 65, and people will always have their own grade opinions. Also, slabs protect my minstate specimens from toning, and any other damage a raw coin may experience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
