https://www.ebayinc.com/stories/new...tible-coins/I had not heard about this program until last night from a podcast. Mention was made of announcing it at the ANA World's Fair of Money. The gist is that slabbed or raw coins over $500 will be sent through PCGS for examination as part of the purchase process. It was not immediately clear to me if sellers are forced to offer a money back return policy as part of the program, or if ebay covers the cost of fakes. It seems like a step in the right direction.

Wonder how long it will take to have a coin authenticated?

Yes, saw this a couple days ago in a communication from ebay. Will be fun to see where this goes. |

It does seem like a good move. I wonder what percent of their sales of $500+ coins will be canceled because they are determined to be fake? If they are also verifying the accuracy of the listing, it seems that may protect against INAD returns.

I imagine the idiots posting road-rashed Lincoln Memorial cents as 'unique errors' will have to reduce their prices to $499.99...

ebay claims "no additional costs", but I bet it will be made up for by (slightly) increasing fees.
