Keyword spamming "1921" and "gold"

I'm so sick of browsing ebay's PEACE dollars categories and find common 1921 MORGAN dollar mislabelled as "1921 Peace Dollar". I've started a personal campaign to report every listing I find as 1921 PEACE that is really a MORGAN. Maybe if a few other board members took the initiative we could learn up the PEACE category.

The other night I was browsing U.S. Coins->Gold and kept finding 24kt. gold baseball and football cards, mens titanium jewelry, and gold nuggets for making jewelry. I reported about 50 "miscategorized" items that night.

So if one hour a week each board member selected a category and reported every miscategorized or mislabelled coin item for the next 24-48 hours, maybe browsing ebay would be alot more enjoyable.

    I kinda get a kick out of looking at the 21's on ebay, especially when they start a 21 Morgan at the $50 and up level.
  • I've cherrypicked two 1921 Morgan VAMs from coins which were listed as Peace dollars.

    <----------------That coin there.....$75 on ebay as an XF. ended up ANACS MS64

    Not only are they listed incorrectly a lot, they are almost always problem coins, when the coin is not a problem coin, its almost aways graded incorrectly.

    And not always overgraded, either. I've scored a few really nice MS Morgans with crappy pics and undergraded by the seller. I just got a 1921D VAM 1H that could see MS65 (typically flat Denver strike convinced the seller that it was AU) for AU money.
