If a coin has been harshly cleaned, does the seller
have to state it in the description?
The seller states it is high grade, is this not
misrepresenting the condition?
Still trying to get a grasp on ebay policy.
Any opinions welcome and thanks.

it's just a melt value coin,..you aren't being forced to pay $20 for it. I would move on, it's not a special or rare coin year. Why does this seller warrant your attention?

Harshly cleaned. Not worth $20, maybe $14.
Description is not true, not a high grade coin.
I'm not sure about the policy of what you can say in a
title. Because it is a raw dollar/self graded - you get it
as is. Buyer beware.

eBay's policy is fairly clean and simple:

Fantasies, Replicas, and the like must be marked with COPY.

Now, I know you don't think this is a fake, I'm just mentioning the part about requiring such coins to have the COPY marked on them because that is one of only two real "rules" that ebay really enforces regarding coins.

The second is that you cannot assign or list a numerical grade for a coin unless it has been certified by one of the four accepted TPG's.

There's also a "rule" that if you do list a TPG graded coin, you have to show photos of both the obverse and the reverse of the entire slab. At least that is the way it USED to be. Now a days, there are plenty of people who list TPG grades but don't show the holders themselves and seem to get away with that just fine.

So with the exception of those few rules you can pretty much expect the full gamut of what dealers will and won't tell you and ebay does nothing about any of that.

You can say your coin is MOST Brilliantly Uncirculated Choice Gem Kissed by Mother Mary Herself when it's actually difficult to tell what the date on the coin actually is.

To make it short. Buyer Beware. If you don't know your coins, learn before you buy. Learning first hand is always best. Right here is second best.

the way I see it is the seller provided really nice clear photos no more explanation needed unless its something not seen in the photo like bent, and you cant sell any copies or fakes even if they're labeled copy

I agree gidjit. The picture is good and clear and the listing, and although I'm not a big fan of the term used, is not unrepresentative of the coin. Rarely if ever will your ebay end result for this coin total anywhere near $14.
