I have a $30 credit on ebay that cannot be spent in the "Coins and Paper Money" category. The catch: I want coins! So I'm stuck wading through the muck that gets posted in the "Collectibles" section. Right now here are the candidates: 1966 & 1967 SMS 2009 Abraham Lincoln S$1 w/ original packaging 1999 Yellowstone Park S$1 w/ original packaging (If I can get seller to switch categories) 1898 Morgan dollars (XF?) with many bad pictures Your thoughts? [edit] There's also an ugly 1991 Korean War Memorial in an airtite. That listing comes with some other useless medal. Edited by Druu

I looked at scopes there and on Amazon, came back to ccf for more research. (At this point, I think I've read almost every scope thread here. A lot of info, but no hard numbers -- like ideal megapixel rating, magnification factors for different usages.) I ended up reading up on this from a ccf thread: http://www.instructables.com/id/10-...on/?ALLSTEPS. It looks like a fun project, so I'll give that a shot. Worst case scenario, I'll get one from Amazon through a friend with the Amazon credit card that gives 5% back. I was leaning towards Lincoln too, just because of mintage figures. I think the Yellowstone has better estimated values on PCGS and NCG though. Roll the dice and hope for a 70 grade there? Can't do the ASE ornament. It's cross-listed in the coin section, so the credit would not work there. I appreciate the thought though! I only saw the old Sacagawea dollar ornaments listed under collectables, but that's not a series that really interests me, and that's something I'd expect to see for a few bucks at a Goodwill. |

Or maybe I could list a Morgan dollar for $30 as a collectible?.... If that's even allowed.. |

Find anything for $30.00 that you like in coins and paper money. Write the seller and ask them to change the category for you and you'll buy it now. LOL

@Buddy Thanks for the tip. I went and poked around there, but then I realized that the categorization went "Coins & Paper Money > Exonumia > Medals," so that work around is out. @Coin197/TheNickelGuy I was thinking about that, but I don't want to explicitly ask anyone here to break ebay's rules, even though the listings as collectible are at least plausible. (I also did take a look at your listings, Coin, and you're fresh out of stock.) I may just end up with my first commemorative coin. I just wish the reverse of the Lincoln wasn't so artistically lacking. |

How about a coin reference book. A new RedBook or something. |

We should complain to ebay about gift cards not being usable in the coins category. |

NSS-52 thanks for the heads up on that. I will never buy an ebay gift card now.. you used to be able to spend them on coins. That makes no sense to exclude coins. You can still spend ebay bucks on coins (not bullion though) but I'm sure they will change that too. |
