<p>[QUOTE="mrweaseluv, post: 1884188, member: 40340"]Actualy, I said "I would not buy trade dollars unslabbed" and the reason for that is just what you mention wcoins, I lack the knowledge and experience myself to spot a fake trade dollar. Other coins that I have considerably more knowledge and experience with I would not hesitate to buy raw. As for the "fake" slabbed coins you mention, at least there if you have bought a "real" slab (as these are now commonly counterfeited as well as the coins) it is "insured" by the TPG (pcgs and ngc anyway) for the "value" of the coin so even if you do make a mistake and get a fake you haven't lost money (or not much) with a raw purchase you're SOL unless you bought from a trustable dealer that would take it back (as is only proper in my book) Personaly I prefer my coins raw but I often buy slabbed as a safety net if I don't have the experience needed to judge myself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
