Generally it's ok to post about coins for sale or on websites.
It could be considered bad form to post on a current auction with bids as someone here may be interested in that coin and by promoting it, they may lose it or pay substantially higher.
Is it against forum rules and or ethics to comment on a coin currently for sale on a website? I am fairly new here
To my knowledge, it’s not against forum rules and it’s not particularly unusual to see it done here. However, some posters frown upon it, as comments have the potential to (unfairly) interfere with a sale.

Thanks for sharing this information. Apparently the owner of this coin or maybe a friend of his got upset that I critiqued his overpriced awful dog of a coin that he is trying to lure someone uneducated into buying. He uses the false adjective original toning Lol.
I will post when the coin is off the site, or if enough forum members demand to see this coin, and are okay with me posting it.

There is no owner of that coin because it doesn't exist in a PCGS slab. Screenshot of fake 1936-S, ms66 Bay Bridge in original post e-mailed to host.
Go ahead and share with forum. Why not just re-post title & cert # that doesn't exist?
Okay but how do you know it is fake and doesn’t exist? What’s your information you can show to your point.

The cert # exists and is legitimate. I see nothing wrong with that coin.

That is "original toning" and quite common because of the way these were packaged and sold.

The coin you have posted exhibits toning that appears to original. And your comments/critique about it were way off base and inappropriate. So I can understand why the owner (“or maybe a friend of his”) got upset.

I'd suggest everyone who has contributed to this cluster-you-know-what should just put the bong down and learn to write and communicate effectively. It might help everyone.
What we have here, is a failure, to know what one is talking about!

I think you've got it backwards. Personally, reading this thread made me pick UP the bong.
What a cluster boo boo! I saw the coin and my first thought was-Wow....that's nice and original! Having been fooled by the first couple of these I purchased raw- they are often found cleaned- I determined to purchase future coins of this type slabbed! Lesson learned.

Idk. I learned nothing.
That may well be but clearly, there are those who do not know what "original toning" for this issue looks like. And learning that might be useful for those folks.

Yes, though this thread is so muddled that message is lost in the nonsense.

Original is not necessarily attractive or graded correctly. Appearance of the coin is certainly original but not really toned. Coin is dull white dog. No eye appeal whatsoever.
It's not good form to go back and delete posts, especially the first one that had all the context and photos. It makes the thread totally useless for future reference.

That is not what you wrote. You accused the seller of lying.

Sorry for the confusion but the poster yonnique threatened to call moderators, then later fooled me into believing the coin was a fake of some sort and told me to repost. Original post was strictly about the grading of the coin only. Apologies to all

Am I allowed to say? Since it’s currently up for sale.

Thread should be poofed. And FWIW I don't mind the look of the coin and it probably looks lustrous and very nice in hand.
Coin looks completely original and fairly graded. What a weird thread.

@Walkerlover, I would suggest you just let this thread die and refrain from posting to it anymore after the hatchet job you have already performed.
