<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 640094, member: 112&quot;]Yes, but you are comparing apples to oranges. From among those raw coins, if you selected the few that <u>were not problem coins</u>, then you would have a fair comparison. And I think that you would also find that not only are the raw coins equal to the slabbed coins, but you find that many of them are nicer than the slabbed coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>And surprisingly enough, there are a lot more early coins out there in collections that are raw and problem free than most would believe. But we seldom see these coins because they are in strong hands.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The key in the above is your phrase - &quot;offered by the seller&quot;. As I mentioned above, the good stuff that is still raw is not offered for sale - so we seldom see it. However, that does not mean that it isn&#039;t out there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
