<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ToughCOINS, post: 2106298, member: 20480&quot;]There are risks in buying raw coins, however one of the biggest risks in NOT BUYING RAW COINS is that fewer lessons will be learned from experience.</p><p><br /></p><p>I recommend that all buyers spend a portion of their money on raw coins, but do so on &quot;low spread&quot; coins (but not commonly counterfeited / forged coins).</p><p><br /></p><p>That way they can gradually become more skilled and less dependent upon the TPGs, while minimizing the risk of significant financial loss.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once buyers are very secure in their abilities, they should have more opportunities to buy some of the truly good deals in raw coins without getting creamed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Will all of us ever be completely protected against the wrongdoers?&nbsp; No, of course not, but if we do not train ourselves in the art of authentication and grading, we either place ourselves completely at the mercy of the TPGs, buying only their holders, or of the thieves, buying their bad coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;- Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
