<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wxcoin, post: 3331202, member: 74624&quot;]If I see a coin I like I first check auction archives to see what comparable examples sold for; especially slabbed coins which are listed much higher on eBay.&nbsp; Raw coins are more of a risk as one has to feel confident in their grading skills and to be able to separate details coins from seller pictures; several sellers are good at making a lesser coin look good and hide problems.&nbsp; A couple sellers no longer get my business, even though they sell many nice looking raw coins; over half that I purchased were cleaned.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure some of you can guess the seller(s).&nbsp; I&#039;ve never got a seller to agree on an offer on a slabbed coin unless there was a significant markup from what he/she purchased it for.&nbsp; Most of the time i can go the Heritage or Great Collections route and buy a similar or better example for less money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
