Got my Collectors Corner Ezine in my email today and...

...noticed they have a separate list of "plus coins" listed in the email. Sure, I thought that's cool if you're looking to score one of the new plus coins. I took a look at what was listed and saw an "1857 1c Flying Eagle MS64+ PCGS" listed for $895.00!!! Seemed like a great bargain price so I had to check it out to see what was up... sure enough it was too good to be true, here's the coin which was listed under the Plus Coins column of the Ezine:

PCGS MS64+ Flying Eagle???

Not cool. Seems that it's really in a genuine holder, but listed as 64+... doesn't anyone monitor the Collectors Corner?? Seems like inaccurate or spam listings like this is one of the reasons I find it difficult to navigate the Collectors Corner, though I have found a coin there from time to time. Also, someone at PCGS should have checked the listings they used in the Ezine as the featured Plus Coins maybe image

Is there any way to report blatantly inaccurate listings like this??? Or do the paying dealers get to pretty much do whatever they want on the Collectors Corner?

    I agree. It's a bush league effort

    I'm certainly not a cent expert but I did look at that coin as well.

    Thought to myself: No way that is a plus.

    Then went on my way. Did not even realize that it was a Gennie until
    you brought it up......damn small print! Does not reflect the host in a
    nice fashion.
