I don't know the seller but he has purchased from me without problems in the past. http://cgi.ebay.com/1865-TWO-CENT-G...NC_W0QQitemZ 120325069854QQihZ002QQcategoryZ149924QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Its impossible to tell the grade from the pictures but the grading service has one of the worst reputations in the industry and has been involved in several lawsuits. That's not really my issue with the auction. He quotes a PCGS Price guide. which to my understanding of the rules is against ebay policy. One would think a power seller would know better. Reporting at this late date probably won't do any good. Report this Post to the Staff

halfabustisbetter Pillar of the Community United States 1984 Posts	Posted 11/26/2008 06:28 am No, you're not being too picky, because we expect better. On a scale of infractions it might appear to be a low-end one since no one has yet been suckered in. Small validation of my theory that there is an invisible intelligence bar one must cross before entering into the collection of "odd" denominations. There is the risk that a 'normal' person would not see any problem with making a PCGS-based offer for this coin, so there's no harm in reporting it now just as a heads up for when you report the relisting.

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 11/26/2008 12:42 pm I see the quoting of PCGS values as a way to "pump up" the sales price by hyping it, which IMO is false advertising. It may be a relatively minor infraction, but it is still against the rules. I also fail to see why someone who has achieved powerseller status does not know how to take better pictures. If they feel that the coin merits a 65RB, then show the proper pictures to prove it Report this Post to the Staff
