[QUOTE="wcoins, post: 1872610, member: 32035"]Most collections were put together way before NGC or PCGS even existed. I talk coins in general here, not US only. Plastic craze is viral within the US, not so much for the rest of the world. Some on the greatest collections are located in museums around the world, not slabbed. TPG's are good to tell you if a coin's genuine or not and put a grade on it to make it easier to sell. Museums don't care if a coin is a 65 or 66, that's just a trick to sell coins. Museums are about history, not profit, thus would never submit coins. Besides museums... Don't forget, people collect coins for thousands of years, so yeah people manage to come by these high quality coins, unslabbed, without people in the business. Coin collecting is [B]not always a business.[/B] There was a world of raw collections before plastic, and there will be one after it. Well I could be wrong but that's my opinion.[/QUOTE]
