I have quite a few old PCI holders, green labels 10 digit serial numbers and are considered to be accurately if not conservatively graded based upon todays standards. I tried listing 4 and they were promptly removed due to violating ebay policy. The pictures showed the slab and the grade. Any recommendations as to how I can accurately list the item and keep ebay happy at the same time?

You can list your items but you CANNOT list a numerical grade. (unless things have changed) PCI is not one of the 4 grading companies that ebay recognizes as accurately grading items. Stating your coin is uncirculated is okay, but you can't say it's ms60 (or higher). I wouldn't even state pci as it might raise a flag with ebay.

@ratman4762 I listed them as unc's uncertified however had a picture of the slab with the numberical grade listed. I am thinking that is what kicked me out. I thought about editing out the second digit of the grade, however I've seen items like this listed and I automatically dismiss them.

Here's a quote of the current policy:

"Must not include a non-approved grading company, numeric grade or estimated value anywhere in the listing and can't show an image of the item in a graded holder if the image shows a grade"

You cover up the parts that are not allowed, and you CAN state the coin is EF, AU, etc. just no number.

I would try photo-editing out the grade on the holder. I've sold things showing an old ACG slab before, but I guess I just got lucky.

Looks like they've changed the policy. At one time you could show picture of graded slab, just not mention it in listing. I know they are always changing policies, but it makes you wonder why some people get away with selling the same thing they wont let you list..........

I agree that you should be able to show the slab, just cover the grade and do not mention the numerical grade in the description.

What if shadowtrooper78 shows the slab but NOT the grade? Then waits until
a potential buyer asks? Would this raise a flag?
