    Forgive the stupid questions. I don't do eBay so I don't know all the rules.

    Isn't that an "illegal" slab? And how do you start the bidding at $2,325.00 and still call it a no reserve?

    You can still sell them in any slab, but you need to sell as if raw.
    As for the bidding and "no reserve"....while I wouldn't bid on it, it can start at any price and if there is no reserve put on it, then it is a no reserve auction.
    $0.99 starting price is still a starting price and if there is no reserve, there is no reserve.

    I see. Thanks, Bochiman! image

    I know gold is soft, but that's pretty "chewed up" to call an MS63. image

    Horribly overgraded and reverse rim damage as well.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Since the lot will not accept a bid below the high starting price

    it is in fact a reserve bid. Also claiming that the coin is the grade on the

    unauthorized slab seems to make it an illegal posting.



    As for receiving a coin with no surprises, that is true. What you see is a screw and what

    you will receive is a screwing.

    Not only that, but you will be screwed by Eternity for Eternity, unless you take advantage, and they actually make good, on their return policy. LOL
    No thanks

    I was just killing time

    Time is far to valuable to "just kill", really, it's all a person has. Time, in reality, is the only "coin" of a person's life.

    Spend it, invest it, get something in return for it, even if in idle relaxation. Please don't "just kill" your precious time, and certainly don't wish it away

    A very nice example of Bullion.

    Starting at 99c, by your definition, is not a "no reserve" auction either. It's all in the wording. It's a high starting bid, but with no other number set as a reserve, so it is no-reserve.
    With a no-name slab, I would agree that a numeric grade shouldn't be quoted...it is supposed to be like a raw coin. A word "grade", like "good" or "fine" or "very fine" is acceptable.
