<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1417313, member: 112&quot;]Just remember this - with older raw coins, 80% of them are problem coins of one kind or another. </p><p><br /></p><p>So when you go wandering through a coin show, or a dealer&#039;s shop, or on ebay, or some web site, or anywhere else, looking at raw coins and trying to cherrypick one that you think you can get graded and score a tidy profit on - your chances of doing that are slim to none.</p><p><br /></p><p>First of all there&#039;s only 2 out of 10 raw coins (older coins) out there that will even get into a regular slab. And only a tiny fraction of those few stand any chance of grading higher and being sold for more than what you pay for them raw. </p><p><br /></p><p>Numismatic traps ? No, hardly so. More like numismatic normal, usual, par for the course, numismatic to be expected ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
