nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 08/24/2007 7:15 pm If anyone here thinks this coin is MS63 I have a bridge for sale you may be interested in. The only saving grace for this Auction I see is he lists the retail price for an EF45 and the pictures are good enough to actually grade the coin yourself. We will see if he answers my question about the coin "Is the MS63 in the title and description a typo, cataloging number?" http://cgi.ebay.com/1864-Two-Cent-P...63_W0QQitemZ 260151817513QQihZ016QQcategoryZ149924QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Report this Post to the Staff

nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 08/25/2007 08:21 am Reply to my question Dear nohope587, The MS refers to the condition - Mint State. The 63 indicates the coins grade, which is 63. Thanks for your interest. Report this Post to the Staff
trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 08/25/2007 08:34 am Wow.....that makes most of my coins MS65's or better, & gives a heck of a boost to the value of my collection. Report this Post to the Staff
halfabustisbetter Pillar of the Community United States 1984 Posts	Posted 08/25/2007 10:23 am I had to send him an email also, something to the effect of if that coin is a 63 then I'm a little schoolgirl in pigtails. A little more accuracy (honesty?) in grading would be good for him and the hobby. Report this Post to the Staff
Mike Rest in Peace United States 2884 Posts	Posted 08/25/2007 8:01 pm I hope the title was a mistake. His estimation of the retail value($45.00) makes no sense if he thought it was an MS63. It sold for high VF money. Strange listing indeed. Mike Report this Post to the Staff

halfabustisbetter Pillar of the Community United States 1984 Posts	Posted 08/25/2007 11:15 pm I did get a response: Hi, sorry for the confusion and thanks for catching this. The coin pictured is the coin up for auction. The Title was a remnant from a previous template as was the Description heading. We list a lot of coins (about 2,000 / month) and sometimes, like all human beings we make mistakes. Try listing a couple thousand coins next month and you'll see what I mean. Anyway, we both know the two-cent piece is a VF+ or an XF. You also may or may not know that we can't change the title or description within 12 hours of an auction ending. Sorry for the confusion, and by the way, I love your sense of sarcasm. Seriously and sincerely, Mike aka vicbrenner Q: Your listing looks to be an example of How Not to Grade a Coin. A little more accuracy in your grading would be better for you and for the hobby. If that coin is a Mint State 63 then I'm a little school girl in pigtails Report this Post to the Staff
Mike Rest in Peace United States 2884 Posts	Posted 08/25/2007 11:56 pm Thanks for posting his explaination and taking the time to mail him. As I stated in my earlier post his retail price estimate made no sense if he really thought it was a 63. Mike Report this Post to the Staff
