  Looks ok to me-everything seems pretty well spelled out.

  Better watch out, or the SPAM police will write you up.

  Not that my pictures are great, but I always like to take the Morgans out of the 2 X 2 for the picture, then put them back in one for shipping. Sems the picture always comes out better not looking through the plastic.

  Looks fine overall. The only thing I would change is the insurance -- $2.00 is a bit steep for a $20 or less coin, and the USPS rate is $1.30 for the first $50 of insurance. You might want to just charge $2.00 INCLUDING insurance (For one coin the actual cost in a bubble mailer should be $1.90 -- 60 cents for postage, and $1.30 for insurance).
  
  Good luck!

  Why pay the BIN fee and open it a 1 cent

  Good point. Once someone bids, the BIN gets stomped.

  I wouldn't mess with the BIN for these coins. Everything looks good.
  
  I might charge more for shipping but always insure so there is no question, nothing to negotiate and no choices for the winner. Actually that is what I do.
  
  You also mention "See my other Auctions". Fine but why not make that statement a link to your other auctions? Anyone so inclined could just click rather than look for where to click... Same goes for the about me page...
  
  I would, and do, take the coins out of flips for photos. I would crop the photos right to the coin. But those are petty details...

  Many good points, several of which I will take to heart. Especially this one, if I can figure out how to do it.
