[QUOTE="British Coins Collector, post: 2561929, member: 76833"]Probably 97 % of my purchases are raw. Purchasing raw coins in the higher end range does not bother me since Paypal will stand behind them. I prefer US sellers so you can return items easier if you need to. Have been brave and purchased three (3) 1893 S Morgan's and two (2) Isabella Quarters with great success. One of the Isabella Quarters turned out to be MS 63. (Take a look ANACS 5289053) One of the 1893 S Morgan's was around $1100.00. (Graded PCGS G Details) Nice looking coin. A Lafayette Dollar proved to be counterfeit but Paypal has a 180 grace period to file claim. Had it graded and it came back in body bag. Ended up with refund and nice counterfeit Lafayette Dollar to keep. If you study the 1893 S Morgan's on VAMworld, you can pick out the counterfeits without any trouble. Raw coins are much less expensive and the find of the hunt makes collecting fun. Noticed ad for 1902 Great Britain Half Penny on site for $10.00. Could not determine the sea level due to the poor photograph. Placed straight edge across coin to see sea level since I could judge the level on the left reverse on wheel. Turned out to be Great Britain Half Penny 1902 LOW SEA LEVEL MS 62. Take a look ANACS 5221051 Have seen these for $495.00 on eBay. Study up and become knowledgeable and buy raw. You can double your collection.[/QUOTE]
