I joined not very long ago. They said I violated their terms of use and I can't login anymore. I didn't do anything except post some really nice looking coins! LoL.

I thought it was kind of lame, anyway, so I have no desire to get my account reinstated. There's no way for me to even check to see if my account still shows up, although they said that it's been deleted and no one can see it.

Has this happened to anyone else??

Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

    I have not heard of this... admittedly, I do not spend much time there... really joined just to see the extent of coin dealings since I had heard a lot about it...seems strange to ban you without specifics.... Cheers, RickO

    I haven’t heard of this happening before to regular accounts (only with bots/scam accounts). It might have been some software glitch or some innocent phrase that was detected and misinterpreted.

    This article has some more info:

    Nice place to look at coins, I’ve bought some off IG, selling is rough though and there’s some shady folks there who like to crack out problem coins and sell as problem free.

    What did you do? >:)

    In all likelihood it is a technical glitch. I would contact Instagram or just start a new account.

    I was wondering about that, all of a sudden your profile was unavailable. Amazing that happened while folks from Indonesia post their fake bust dollars and say they have "rare coin, for sale, will sale cheap".

    Overall, still a great place to show coins.

    @JGDcoins, you do have a great page! Looks like we follow each other already.

    I can’t provide any meaningful input regarding the OP, but I definitely recommend Instagram for coin purposes. The app lends itself very well to nice coin images.
