I've finally taken a look at ebay's coin grading mandate. Most of my listings are exempt; sets, collections, rolls, bags, etc. But I have a few items that fall under the mandate. For example, Mint State coins in the OGP. But, I see only two options in the dropdown list, my coins don't fit in either one of them: The way I'm reading this, either a coin is professionally graded or not, but if it's not graded then it is not in OGP. Pick one or the other, but then what to do about MS coins in their original government packaging? Am I misreading this somehow, or what am I missing? What about a coin that IS in its OGP and not graded? Edited by Vector Ze 06/15/2026 11:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff

The Mint does not guarantee the grades of its coins. Unless ebay intended or intends to add a third "OGP" category, that would have to be the default answer as an "ungraded" coin. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

There needs to be an option that says ungraded and in original packaging. And yes, you can have an item that is professionally graded and in original packaging as well.
