<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2396675, member: 1892&quot;]Buying raw Morgans at a show is just another aspect of the most important skill for a numismatist - <i>due diligence</i>. If you&#039;re standing in front of a dealer who has three cases of slabbed Morgans and two cases of raw ones, and you&#039;re having trouble reaching him because of the business he&#039;s doing, you can reasonably assume that the Morgan you buy from him is going to be genuine. If, on the other hand, he&#039;s a World coin seller who has a half-dozen raw Morgans in a corner of a case, more caution might be warranted. Exceptions exist in both cases; that&#039;s just a simplistic illustration of the process. </p><p><br /></p><p>Do not be afraid of raw Morgans. It&#039;s not like they all <b>have</b> to be slabbed; there is a decent demographic of collectors (myself among them) who prefer to buy raw. Of course, extra caution is warranted for a newer collector like yourself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
