<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fiddlehead, post: 1857360, member: 31286&quot;]I&#039;m wondering what the market is like for coins that are raw and not likely to grade other than details, if they are desirable/semi-desirable coins - such as the coins in a raw CC silver coin type set. Not exactly a low grade set, which is an interesting thing in itself, but like VF/XF raw, some environmental damage, some minor rim damage, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp; For example, I have a raw CC trade dollar that I bought from a reputable dealer a few years ago.&nbsp; It&#039;s a little beat up and I don&#039;t think it would grade without details, so I prefer to keep it raw - it might be XF details.&nbsp; It matches the other CC silver coins I have that are of similar quality - some might grade, but many wouldn&#039;t, but their cool - and you can actually touch them without risking serious damage!&nbsp; Isn&#039;t that a way to avoid fakes?&nbsp; Who would fake a damaged/details coin unless it was worth a whole lot of money?&nbsp; I don&#039;t know&nbsp; - is that a crazy strategy for certain sets of coins?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
