Its getting mighty confusing on E-Bay

What with the, 20th Anniversary first strike, single coins, sets

2005 ASE 20th Anniversary.....2006 ASE 20th Anniversary.........

and regular PR-DCAM and MS non 20th Anniversary. I have to read each

ad several times, to be sure that I know what the hell I am actually bidding on.image

    I agree, and I have also seen some unscrupulous sellers capitalizing on the confusion. Be careful!

    Yes it is. I wish the grading services would have put the US Mint catalog numbers A12, A1, etc on the holders so people could see at a glance what set the coin came from. As is, I only have the reverse proofs for sure, and that is because they were only in the one set. Sigh.

    The confusion is causing some bidders to make mistakes (like the empty box that was bid up to $500).

    It's not confusing at all. If there's a novelty label inside the slab, I don't bid. (I don't really buy much modern crap anyway)

    You should not be bidding on them anyways. So there should not be any confusion.image
