    Highly polished, third world holder... Wht's not to love?

    Doesn't use numerical grade or list as certified, so no apparent breaking of the new rules.

    I would love to see some 3rd world graders actually do a good job. Anyone know of any like NNC, GEC, SGS or any other 3-4 letter obscure outfit that grades close to accurate? Will any upstart company ever be able to crack into NGC, PCGS and ANACS' elite status level.

    It is not eBay's responsibility to protect the stupid.
    There is no reason to pull it.

    Check out the Q&A for this seller................................somebody taking him to task!!!! image

    Q: You coin a) looks polished and far from MS65 and b) is not certified in accordance with the rules of Ebay. I hope that you enjoy your 100% feedback as long as it lasts - the coins that you are selling as 'certified' are sure to disappoint, being as they are really just 'garage', 3rd rate TPG's (if you can even call them third party graders without laughing). Dec-08-07
    A: WE have a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee with a full refund to anyone who is unhappy with their purchase. We don't necessarily agree with how someone grades a coin. We try to be as forthright as possible and strive for customer satisfaction. Look at the coins carefully, grade them yourself, and only bid the price the coin is worth to you. Thank you for your comment. Hawk731

    No violation. seller is free to list grade in description. besides even if he didn't list it in his description, the photo has it. The restrictions apply to the listing title and subtitle. Just a matter of time before slab photos can only be from the approved list.

    Repetition of ignorance is ignorance raised to the power two.

    I always get a kick out of that line. It seems that it frequently appears in auctions where the seller is hyping junk.

    I assume you think this is breaking the new rules. Please let us know how. You may actually want to look them up before you comment this time.

    Ebay is no longer enforcing the rule that the numerical grade cannot be used in the DESCRIPTION either. It was in the new rules, I have not checked recently. SeatedLibertyKeyDates is also a powerseller with 100% feedback, you can bid there with confidence also.

    There never was a rule that the grade could not be included in the description. Only the value could not be included.
