<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 4620539, member: 37839"]Are you a good enough expert to make sure that you can avoid all the extremely skillful counterfeiting going on in the coin hobby? Can you grade as well as PCGS or NGC? Are you sure that you are not buying problem coins? If the answer to those questions is YES, then go ahead and collect raw coins. I am not just a “coin investor,” but when I spend money, I like it to be for something of not only monetary value, but intrinsic value as well. Moreover, do you have safe storage for your raw coins, so that they don’t get damaged? Do you handle them, so as to avoid damage? If not, then you might want to consider that there is a happy medium in the hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
