[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1872169, member: 75105"]There are still plenty of raw coins left, mainly being held by the "old school collectors", in envelopes and 2x2's. I knew a collector in his 80s that passed away about a year ago that had close to $250,000 in collection, all in envelopes, no slabs, no nothing. I can't blame people for getting coins slabbed, makes them much easier to sell, and if the coin is on the verge of getting a higher grade, which could be worth hundreds more, then it makes sense to get them sent in. There are still plenty of coins out there that cost more than they are worth to get slabbed. I mean why spend $30 to get a coin slabbed when it's worth $30? Common morgan dollars are a prime example. Unless the price goes up, or fees get cheaper (seriously doubt the latter), then they will remain raw for a long time.[/QUOTE]
