Raw coins are great, I do buy raw coins but they are generally coins less than $25 but I buy them because there are some really awesome coins that are not and probably never will be slabbed just because it wouldnt be cost effective. I love being able to physically hold a coin (properly by the rim of course) and viewing a raw coin... a beautifully toned raw coin... directly without a plastic slab to get in the way... ah there is nothing else like it. You get to see the coin totally unimpeded as it should be. To be honest I dont have a goal per se with my collection. I view coins as some view artwork such as paintings or drawings. They are things of beauty that I loose myself in when I view them. It would be nice to pass on what I collect to a family member who could appreciate them for their beauty and possibly keep growing the collection. Ultimately though if I end up having to sell a coin from my collection I would of course like to at least get my money back out of it.[/QUOTE]
