Probably is allowed. I know it seems odd to have 3 of them. He might have had a roll of them and sent in the best ones. Personally I like to see the exact one I would be buying.

The listing is supposed to portray an image of the EXACT item for sale. If you bought the coin, and received one that was serial numbered different from what was imaged, then you have a valid "item not as described" complaint. Might be a little picky but that's just the way it is sometimes.

Technically, no, it's not allowed.

Not allowed. They let it slide for modern bullion from the big guns, but not this.

Looks like several of his listings are like this.

Below, where it has the coin's stats, the cert.# says 5031. This is a # exclusive to PCGS Merc. 10c.
That's how he's getting around it.

He's not "getting around" anything. If it reported correctly it will be removed. You must show clear pictures of the actual holder.

Going through his listings he does have multiples of the same coins, but each one is photographed separately, I wonder if he is including the other coins and will just end the auction early on them if someone orders a multiple coin lot?

I would have no issue with this, but that's just me. He should have added the word random to the listing and maybe even a picture of multiple slabs.

Doesn't matter what one thinks of the practice; it's prohibited by the rules. Requires you to buy the slab and not the coin, which goes against what we stand for.

This is why I keep away from ebay. Never know what you'll get. If he does not show the actual coin, might get something different. |

He had five of them, three sold and he has two left for sale. How it is allowed is he is listing them as a bulk item auction. This guy probably goes to major coin shows and cherry picks high grade coins in multiples at good enough prices to list them on ebay something like how the TV shopping networks get their inventory.

justcarl, the seller's got almost 11,000 feedback at 100%. I think you'd be safe saving you paranoia for someone else.

I won these in an auction and it was a mistake. Why would I need 18 MS62 WLF  . If I were to sell these would I have to make 18 different listings or could I use words like randomly picked.  |
