<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2625525, member: 71723&quot;]I&#039;ll add this one rejoinder, Doug. In recent years, quite a few of the most &quot;important&quot; collections came out of my region. Almost without exception, until being cataloged for sale, these collections were all exclusively raw. One eight-figure catalog came out of southern Lancaster County and he was completely unknown even to the local &quot;kings&quot; of the hobby - Steinmetz and CNG.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>...Orrrr, all the classic coins slabbed so far might have been resubmitted an average of four times each and it&#039;s the present number of slabbed classic coins that is the fiction. All I know is what I see - WAAAAAAY more desirable collectible coins out there NOT in slabs than in them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then delete the overslabbed series that I don&#039;t give a rip about, Morgans and anything gold, and the percentage of raw gets even bigger.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line: If you keep going back to the same places you&#039;ve been going, you&#039;ll keep seeing the same material you&#039;ve been seeing. It&#039;s pretty obvious. You have to get around; travel aggressively.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
