HelzelsCoins Valued Member United States 419 Posts	Posted 04/06/2015 9:51 pm As I said, the one I called about was a clad bar with a bronze core and a clad layer of gold around it. HOWEVER the point in this post, is that ebay specifically stated that Clad US coins are not allowed. Report this Post to the Staff
jdmern Pillar of the Community United States 1949 Posts	Posted 04/06/2015 10:08 pm Honestly, that sounds like a misunderstanding- obviously ebay is not pulling American circulation issues because they are clad... I totally believe ebay customer service did not enunciate their reasons for pulling something else properly, but they obviously are not pulling listings of clad American coinage Boardwalk Numismatics http://stores.ebay.com/jdmern/ https://boardwalknumismatics.com Report this Post to the Staff

With that said, and I hope you take this constructively rather than as an attack, clad bars are very greasy from a moral standpoint. The kind of thing someone buys and resells as genuine. Same reason why we disparage sellers who sell fake coins with complete disclosure. Report this Post to the Staff

More than likely, whomever was contacted from ebay had little knowledge in the terminology they were using. Think about this from the perspective of a non-numismatist- The differentiation between a clad bar and a clad coin can certainly seem arbitrary to a person with little to no knowledge of what they are talking about- Both are hunks of metal coated with another metal to someone with no expertise. When challenged by an upset seller, who obviously knows the correct terminology, I can very easily see a situation where an ebay rep states that clad coinage is not supposed to be listed on ebay. That does not mean ebay is pulling clad coinage from ebay, it means that two parties had a misunderstanding on terminology during a debate regarding an altogether different item, a 'replica' gold bar Boardwalk Numismatics http://stores.ebay.com/jdmern/ https://boardwalknumismatics.com Report this Post to the Staff
Coins1989 Valued Member United States 136 Posts	Posted 04/07/2015 10:27 am I have both bought and sold over the years on ebay, mostly my sales have been philatelic items. I have become aware that from time to time, the drones at ebay get out of control. It's as if they are trying to impress their superiors with how vigilant they are. A friend of mine sells military collectibles and he has had issues crop up when he tries to list anything Third Reich related. He had a listing for a postcard with a commemorative cancel featuring a swastika that got pulled because it 'promoted hate.' He argued for days with some 20 year old nerd who wouldn't budge. I just sold a half dozen similar items last week and there was no problem. I think the OP here just had the misfortune to be dealing with one of the idiots they employ. JMO.
