<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rick B, post: 4620502, member: 113624&quot;]I&#039;m a raw coin collector and just wondering how alone I am. It seems like most people sell and buy encapsulated third party graded coins. I&#039;m sorry those services ever got started! Half the fun of collecting is learning and grading your own coins and potential purchases. What is so fun about just blindly buying coins that are already graded and tossing them in a drawer? </p><p>Plus I want to hold my coins (by the edge) and feel the weight, and see it up close, not behind plastic. It&#039;s like comic book collecting. Who on earth wants to have their comic books encased in hard plastic such that you can&#039;t even feel it, smell it, or read it?! Insanity if you ask me. Unless it is not a hobby at all but merely 100% just investing for a person. For me, it&#039;s a hobby first and secondarily I hope if and when I sell them someday I will make some profit. </p><p>Raw coin collectors unite! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
