basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 04/12/2013 10:53 pm Im in the process of selling off some of my type set coins for less common date ones for things I really like. Anyway I have this Trade dollar and I'm trying to figure out how to describe it for the ebay listing and honestly have no clue what was done to it. It says "Edge Repaired - XF Details" and it does look like a part of the obverse rim was smoothed, but other than that everything else looks original.

What should you do? List it as PCGS EF details in the header to get it to come up in the searches, explain that you see no damage, give close up photos, and sell it to someone who hopefully will not crack it out and put it back up on ebay as problem free the next week.

basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 04/12/2013 11:26 pm Its gonna be listed in the pcgs slab at a discount from its grade, but dont feel it warrants the huge discount most of the details coins get. Its really not something that jumps out at you in hand. I honestly wouldnt be surprised to see someone crack this one and relist it problem free given its look but hopefully not Report this Post to the Staff

basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 04/13/2013 01:03 am There wasnt anything that stood out to me in the parts that are covered. Theres that bottom area where it is thinner but even there the surface touching looks all natural and like the rest of the coin. The edges where youd hold it looked fine to me when I sent it in. Whatever was done I would guess it was done a long time ago Report this Post to the Staff
