Re: Net Grading

I support net grading, if it is done well, because it gives you a better idea of what the coin is worth.

The Early American Coppers people have the right idea. They give you a sharpness grade, a description of the problem and then a net grade. The trouble is you can't put all of that on a slab.

The worst situation is when you have, for example, a coin with EF sharpness and a problem that ends up in a VF-25 slab. I would rather have the coin in the the "no problem" VF-25 grade than the net graded piece.

Re: eBay might have ACTUALLY done something really good for coin sellers - eBay standard envelope

it says in the language the envelope cannot be more than 1/4 of a inch thick.

this is a fantastic way to send massive amounts of low-dollar coins w/o the concern someone will say they didn't receive the item for whatever reason. i've been wanting this for EVERYONE for many years.

the only pattern i've really noticed is EVERYONE is catering to those with money and leaving others in the dust. this is a nice way to include those with thousands or tens of thousands of dollars worth of lower-dollar coins that otherwise sit until safe methods of advertising/selling are found.

i'm sure more buyers will also appreciate this. who doesn't like tracking!
