Look at this realistically graded Quarter. Did I read this listing right?

The Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1934-P-Medi..._1782wt_1110

I like how they compare it to photo grade and still think it is MS-64.
Rest in Peace

I wonder what kind of mint they're talking about...spearmint? Peppermint? Surely they can't mean the US Mint...

They are calling this MS, when you can't even see "In God" or "Trust"

Perhaps he meant to say "former" mint State Quarter?


Or perhaps his wording should be redone a tad: "yes, this is what ms63 looks like, and my coin ain't it. But if it was, this sure would be a nice one!"

It is this kind of ignorance that makes selling on ebay as a legit seller tough. But everytime I see something like this, I begin to see why my feedback and repeat cutomer count is so high. All you need to do is tell it like it is and let the bidders decide the price.

Technically, that seller can't even advertise their coin as "MS63", as its against ebay's terms of use. In order for the seller to be able to state a specific grade number in the title, item specifics, or the description, it needs to be certified. If its not certified, the seller can only identify it by AU, Unc, Fine, etc. without the use of specific numbers. Not to mention that coin is so obviously not MS63.

As BullseyeBullion said, this kind of poor selling practice is what gives most legitimate sellers a difficult time. ebay has a fantastic market for numismatic items, and as an ebay seller myself, it's a shame to see listings like this that continue to downplay the legitimacy of ebay dealers. Again, as Bullseye said, tell it like it is and your customers will absolutely love you for it.
