I am thinking of using 8% eBay buck discount on this $399 BIN; advertised as AU+++
But why would part of label is hidden?

I stay away from items like this.
Ditto, stay far far away.

Cause it’s graded by an unblessed TPG by eBay standards...looks like a segs to me...but maybe it’s blocked out because it isn’t even a segs (LOL a knockoff segs)...it’s like wearing a brown paper grocery bag over your head at a Cleveland Browns game...some of these holders actually make a coin look worse
Easy - not an eBay approved TPG.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
you can't even tell who graded it, where is the picture of the reverse side of coin? very questionable
It looks like a decent coin from his pics. Why not ask him to send you unedited pics of the slab? Can't hurt. In any event I'd suggest that you treat it like a raw coin.

Like a few others have already mentioned in this thread, if the TPG isn't recognized by eBay the grade on the slab needs to be hidden in order to meet eBay's policies.
From the eBay Policy page for selling stamps, coins, and currency.
seller says "will do when given a chance"; I better stay away....and look for PCGS or NGC.
Wait ebay has blessed and unblessed TPG? Geeze they let the Chinese sell counterfeits all day long but wont let an individual sell an authentic coin in a segs slab? Crazy world we live in lol

Looks like an AU as described by the seller but overpriced at his BIN price of $399.

No need to "stay far away". Looks like a nice coin, though a little pricey for the grade. Ebay only lets you show the grades on the holder of a few TPGs, and this is not one of them. Not an issue at all in my eyes.
SEGS not approved
Common date, common condition, possible ex jewelry. Seller is hiding negatives that would affect bids. Look elsewhere for a better coin for the same money.
He'd probably do better cracking it out and auctioning it at $1 start.

Isn't a PCGS-graded AU58 around $300? Why gamble on an unapproved, alleged 58+++ (whatever that means) for $400?

I will not even consider an auction such as this.... There are other good coins that do not have any 'mystery' about them.... Cheers, RickO
Looks like he is sticking to the letter of the law on the Ebay rules. I would make an offer if the seller looks decent. What is the worsted that could do?
Best place to buy !

the label might say something like repaired or ex-jewelry and not help sale
Agree, thinking it's a details coin myself.
Guys, it is because of ebays rules, not to cover an issue. Looks like a nice coin to me.
It's over priced though. Indeed, get a PCGS one instead.

Sellers really only need cover up the numerical grade and then not mention that grade in the listing to meet the policy.
An example of one in an NNC slab: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1799-Bust-Dollar-VG-Silver-1-US-Coin-LOT-Slab-396-NO-RESERVE/232710943915?hash=item362ea734ab:g:zSkAAOSwki1auJ90
