<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 1497089, member: 36230&quot;]Seriously? This is absolute nonsense. Slabs are not surprise packages (believe it or not, they are clear so you can SEE the coin inside) so why should people stay away from them and instead by raw? Have I missed the aligning of the stars and now all raw coins offered are legit and honestly labeled? You are basically telling people to choose the riskier route over the generally safer bet, and all because of a long-shot possibility. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you prefer raw and can buy wisely, good for you, but to tell others (matter-of-factly) to do the same who may not yet be able to do so safely, is ridiculous. If you believe a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch when it comes to slabs (at least top TPG), the same definitely can be said for raw.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That &quot;big&quot; of a problem? No, but they are out there, so are (or at least can be) an issue. Really, this is just all the more reason for one to know what they are doing before they buy, or to find a trusted dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As for the OP&#039;s question, if &quot;scared to death&quot;, this is your answer. We are not talking rarities here... such &quot;coins&quot; can easily be had at any time, so even if you are uncomfortable, why would you bother with ebay, especially if your goal is to save a few measly dollars?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
