Is this ebay listing out of line?

Bust Half Variety pulled from ebay before being certified



I have already been contacted by a club member. Isn't it time this club gets off it's high horse? The Bust Half Club is the only club I know that will not share with other collectors. I know for a fact members of the club had my listing removed when I listed it raw.

    I think it is pretty funny, and does not give a good impression of the club to me.

    Not to me it isn't.



    You are just showing your confidence in the variety attribution....rubbing it into a sore doesn't bother me a bit.



    Nice to have the plastic to prove your point, though!

    If all went down the way you have it written in the listing then I guess it reads as equal parts thin-skinned on you and close-minded on BHNC.

    Their horse isn't as high as yours.

    What I mean is that I'm surprised you let it get to you and also surprised they would go after the listing with enough vigor to get it removed.

    As long as your listing isn't libelous (and I don't think it is) I don't see a problem with it.


    Dealing with the nice people on eBay can be very annoying sometimes, so why not have a little fun from time to time.

    Forgive me for not knowing more...I don't recall any BHNC member talking about this coin over the last few years.



    Your argument is that if the arrow shafts are missing then the leaf must be too, and so it must be the single-leaf variety. I don't know of any instances where this is incorrect but I'm not sure that proves the point.



    PCGS labeled it a 110b so that's good enough for most collectors.
