The title of this auction says "choice VG". The description only says that the coin pictured is the one the buyer will receive.
Wow.

When in doubt, don't.

    If that is the actual coin up for auction, looks like a good, honest image and I would know exactly what I would be bidding on.

    Good seller, in my opinion. image

    Seriously? Please explain/justify the grade claimed in the auction title.
    When in doubt, don't.

    That pretty well is the grade of the coin. The fact that the coin wouldn't slab has nothing to do with the fact that the grade is correct. The seller doesn't try to cover up the damage. Sounds like a decent seller to me.
    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    Is it really correct use of coin lingo to use the word "choice" to describe any grade other than Uncirculated? I thought the only use of the word was as in "Choice Uncirculated," corresponding approximately to MS-63.

    OTOH, I did just see an interesting range of coins at eBay when using "choice VG" as a search term. image

    Seriously. Who cares what he labels/grades the coin. It is what it is. If the seller labeled it a scratched up POS, it is still the same coin. Doesn't matter what you call it. Buy the coin, not the label.

    If there was a dispute between a hypothetical buyer upset because he did not receive a "choice VG", and the seller who argues that he delivered the exact coin accurately imaged, I would choose sides with the seller.

    Key word spamming and search browse manipulation.

    Both reportable and if reported nothing will be done.
    Many happy BST transactions

    I am sure if the buyer receives a coin not nearly as scratched up as that one he will complain.....as that piece is very easy to ID and remember.

    A technically graded VG?

    Not exactly worthless if you got it well below melt, right?

    People can use what ever wording they want for a raw coin as it is not in a TPG holder so who really cares especially if you just get it for the silver? Besides those are just die adjustment marks and don't detract from the coin at allimage
