I don't know if this is an issue, but, while I was researching quarters on ebay, I came across several by Denny2016 (who, curiously has a 100% rating) They are not only way over priced (2 - 1970 Washington quarters for 1150.00!) but they are all listed in the wrong category, which seems doubly suspicious to me.

The item number for the two 1970's is 232032042448. Another item number for a 1965 quarter is 232031979408.

They (I saw at least 4 coins) are listed under Health and Beauty > Bath & Body > Deodorants and Antiperspirants.

Link for the 1970s:

and pic of the 1965 and a Bicentennial quarter by the same seller:

Again, sorry if this is not posted in the proper category, but there were too many suspicious elements in place here.

most likely not a scam, just someone who is out of touch with the coin market, and reaching for the sky..they can ask what ever they want for their coins, not our problem..

Because of those poorly researched and written spots all over the news a month or so ago about the $35,000.00 error 1970 quarter that Fred Weinberg(?) had on ebay, every idiot with a 1970 quarter thought they had a fortune and flooded ebay with outrageously priced 1970 quarters. Guess this guy thought his other semi-old quarters must also be valuable.

He is claiming one of the coins is PCGS but the photo shows a raw coin. Maybe he thinks PCGS means Pretty Coin Gorgeous & Shiney.

Yeah, just a dumb dumb. The ebay store fee for selling coins is only %6, one of the best deals going, so to be in the wrong category......but they probably don't have a store.

Stupid- coins and bullion is ebay's lowest fees category. I could see someone trying to sell deodorant as a coin to save $ but the other way around...
Just stupid.
