<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 195044, member: 112&quot;]You never see them at the major auction houses because the major auction houses will not sell raw coins - they have too many problems doing that, too many returns, too many people claiming the coin was overgraded, poorly photographed - whatever. So they only sell slabbed coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want raw coins you basically have 3 choices - ebay or similar, a coin dealer or coin shows. That&#039;s about it. This is why you will hear time after time - establish a relationship with a trusted dealer or two and buy your coins from them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, that being said - you also need to make sure that you emphamsize to these dealers that you only want problem free coins. 75% to 80% of all raw coins are problem coins. That kind of cuts down your selection, which is another reason why so many people are buying only slabbed coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
