    Hmmm.....interesting. Seems to be a PCGS coin to me. Wonder what the NGC piece looks like?

    You know, when people run deceptive ads, it shows to the character of the seller.

    Title:
    1976 S SILVER WASHINGTON QUARTER PCGS PROOF 69 DCAM

    Body:
    1976 S WASHINGTON QUARTER
    SILVER PCGS PR 69 DCAM
    NICE PCGS PR 69 DCAM WASHINGTON QUARTER DOLLAR


    Not even an auction...it's a BIN

    I would stay away from seller's like that then.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Oh, if I was feeling pissy, I would also report to ebay and say " not as pictured" or whatever....if they stated in email to you it is NGC and they put PCGS in their title, they are wrong.

    I'd tell him to cancel my bid and keep his coin if it's not what he listed it as.

    the bottom of the ad says

    THE ONE PICTURED IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE FROM THIS GROUP.

    THE ONE THAT YOU WILL GET WILL BE A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS NGC GRADED COIN.

    Judging from the sellers 5.0 rating for item as described over more than 60 transactions, I say it's an honest mistake from re-using the same listing as another coin.

    Hmm, he just emailed offering a deal, ...but he still didn't say I was getting the coin pictured, just that it'd be a PCGS coin. ...I presume it'll be the same denomination too? image Let me think about it...

    Seems flaky to me... just an opinion... hard enough to judge from photo.. if not the actual coin, I would pass. Cheers, RickO

    For this type of coin, there is a BIG difference in value between an NGC coin and a PCGS coin. The PCGS coin is worth a LOT more! If the seller tells you it's an NGC coin when he advertises a PCGS coin in the title, text and picture, he should be reported to eBay as running a deceptive auction.

    Ask the seller to provide you with the certification number of the coin that he/she intends to send to you. That number should indicate to you immediately which TPG holder the coin is in. And give you proof to forward to eBay if it is a deceptive listing.

    seems like an honest mistake, the NGC coin is not worth 30 bucks in my opinion though
