Learning about Ebay Live Question

What or who slabs "Gold Breaks" coins? They look like homemade slabs. Anyone know?

PCGS does "Ultra Breaks" I think...

Thanks

    How about a photo or a link of said slab? Thanks.

    I'm not interested in searching through all of the eBay-live grifting sites.

    I don't have a photo, I have been watching the live ebay channels, still learning, On Whatnot which is very similar, I won a 1 oz silver round for 30 bucks plus 4 bucks shipping.... Just testing the waters..

    I also saw a 1877 cc dime in horrible condition go for hundreds of dollars!! Ouch

    I am by no means advocating for these new auctions, just learning.

    I'm also largely unfamiliar with what you are writing about, but you can simply take a screenshot the next time you are watching something like this and post it to help folks who might not necessarily want to track down these items.

    Thanks Tom, my guess is that "Gold Breaks" is not a recognized coin grading service, therefore, In my opinion may not be a wise purchase. But as always buyer beware..

    In this case I briefly saw, the coin had no grade so if someone buys it so be it, it doesn't matter I guess.

    Use some judgement as well and hopefully it'll get ya a nice cherry 🍒 pick

    Don't you have to be approved by ebay to do this?

    Yes, you do. You have to give them your credit card and your address and the whole bit
