Should I Laugh? Or Throw Up!

and look at another of his items:
1923 S PEACE SILVER DOLLAR HIGH GRADED & SLABBED
BEAUTIFUL UNCIRCULATED 1923S PEACE SILVER DOLLAR.
IT IS GRADED AND SLABBED MS-67 BY A REPUTABLE COIN INVESTMENT GRADING COMPANY ...

Looks like a weakly struck Unc;
I'm wondering if mintmark "S" indicates "Somewhere in the vicinity of Shanghai" ?

Seriously this clown needs to get a clue, he is not fooling anyone. It is obvious that he slabbed this coin himself. That the grade is close to 40-50 points off and is not even close to a boarderline UNC. Anyone who bid on this coin because of the description/ pic is nuts.

BTW I think it is only against policy to post a grade in the title if it is not in PCGS, NGC, ANACS, ICG slab. I don't know if that includes the description, in that reguard it would be "ok", but still way off basis.

Sorry it took so long to get back on this, but I had to clean up the mess on the floor.

So much for "raising the bar" on ebay. This is the first one I've personally seen in the self-slabbing ploy to miss the grading mark by that much. It's usually an AU cleaned coin graded MS65-67, but a VF at best coin ... give me a break. The written description is what put me over the top and induced the "hurl".

The frustrating part is the inability to zap the listing and send a few hundred volts back to the lister's keyboard (chair would be even better). This one is within ebay's boundaries (no grade in listing title). Don't believe the "slabbed" terminology is verboten. All we can hope is that no noob takes the bait and keeps this slug in the game.

Ok I thought I would have some fun, so I sent him this email:

"Hello,
Nice coin! I am interested in this, but want to find out more about the BCA label on there. I am looking for an inexpensive coin grading company to send some coins in for a friend. When I did a google search, it came up with "Black Coaches Association" so that can't be right. Can you point me in the right direction for more info for BCA? If everything looks good, I'll go ahead and place a bid.

Thanks in advance"
