    The were selling a few at the coin shows, but by the time you spend $10 to get into the ANDA show it probably isn't worth it unless you are buying other stuff. The Brisbane coin fair is only $2 to get in. Last time I checked the note was going for $8 at the shows.

    They are cheaper on eBay, especially when you buy them in bulk.

    Bought raw (I think is the modern numismatic term), though I suppose that is the same as naked.

    I think it is an american expression as they tend to talk about 'slabbed' and 'raw' coins. Slabbed though does seem to mean professionally slabbed and graded by a third party grading system, which is a bit different from just putting it in a capsule.

    I think I prefer naked though
