2 Questions about Raw 1893-S Morgans, on Ebay.

1. Why would anyone ever buy one? $3000 plus, is a lot to risk, on a possible problem coin.

2. If you are selling a legitimate example, why would you not get it TPG certified, as you would realize a much higher price?

    1. Why would anyone ever buy one? $3000 plus, is a lot to risk, on a possible problem coin.

    Because they think they'll get something for "nothing."

    2. If you are selling a legitimate example, why would you not get it TPG certified, as you would realize a much higher price?

    Because you have 30 days to live and cant afford a submission level higher than economy.

    If you know what you are doing and can see the coin in hand there is no reason not to buy it raw. If yer doin mail order or over the net be very wary. There is a time and place for TPG certification but it isn't always an absolute necessity.
