Garoyn Pillar of the Community United States 513 Posts	Posted 11/14/2016 10:44 am Do people really spend several hundreds/thousands of dollars to buy a "raw" coin from ebay or other online auction listings? Really? Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9871 Posts	Posted 11/14/2016 10:54 am Yes I have bought many raw coins on ebay for several hundred dollars each, $800 was the max. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 11/14/2016 11:33 am In my case, the key to purchasing RAW Errors on ebay is self educating yourself on knowing what's real, what's fake, and most of all the Rarity of the item & maximum amount of the Bid to place and receiving it at a fraction of the Bid.. When the Mint cracked down on the number of errors entering circulation in 2002, multi-struck coins, other than State Quarters, were almost impossible to find.. When the 2003-d quadstruck LMC was listed in 2004, I knew it would be Unique as all 4 strikes had been Die-Struck with no 2nd Planchet involved as found in most multi-struck errors.. On my Currency purchases, all 3 Natick Test Paper overprint errors & both Web-Press overprint errors had been listed as regular errors omitting the fact they are classified as Experimental Notes.. It was after I purchased these that I decided to post my personal research data into a Public Census with serial number charts showing the Rarity here on CCF..

flippy Pillar of the Community Australia 1874 Posts	Posted 11/14/2016 8:27 pm You just have to know what you are looking at. Research the coin as well as the sellers history. I have bought a dozen or so coins that were raw from ebay and online Auction houses, all early English coins and all in the $500-$1000 range. If there is any doubt at all, then dont bid. It is as simple as that. Report this Post to the Staff
