<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 2025491, member: 56370&quot;]That&#039;s exactly why I never buy raw coins from online auctions.&nbsp; Even if a raw coin looks good, I can never be sure that it doesn&#039;t have a problem that would be rejected by a TPG, so the slabs really give me peace of mind.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, it is actually easier to learn about grading now that auction archives of slabbed coins are available online.&nbsp; The pictures aren&#039;t perfect but they sure are better than the black and white pictures in my old Photograde book.&nbsp; For example, if I am looking for a 1926S Buffalo nickel in VF, I can view literally hundreds of examples.&nbsp; Since some of those examples look better than others, I will then have a much better idea of what a coin that&#039;s solid for the grade should look like.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
