robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2761 Posts	Posted Yesterday 9:46 pm And the seller found a loophole to single coins being sold for over $500 automatically being routed by ebay for Authenticity Guaranteed. The routing is only initiated for single coins. The seller listed the 1877 Indian Head, which is a single coin that sold for more than $500, in the category "Mixed Lots". This listing category is excluded. Report this Post to the Staff
