[QUOTE="lkeigwin, post: 1294222, member: 30400"]Collecting raw coins is fun. The problem is there's a lot of junk out there and unless you know what you're doing and see these coins in hand you will likely end up with problem ones if you buy raw. So with all due respect, I suggest you buy them graded by trustworthy TPG's and later decide how to hold them. There's nothing wrong with cracking out TPG coins...you didn't pay for the grading. And you can generally rely on getting trouble-free coins. The downside comes when you sell them. Keeping the cert# tags is some help but never as good as having them in holders. I love Peace dollars but they're a bear. Mushy strikes, unattractive toning, splotchy spotting due to bad dipping and rinsing. If you like blast white and don't mind weak definition, go for it. They're beautiful coins, just not always great for presentation. Lance.[/QUOTE]
