Wade Pillar of the Community Canada 2781 Posts	Posted 12/01/2020 9:30 pm feedback of (1) offers NO RETURNS (ebay/paypal would trump this policy for almost any reason) you be the judge... that said... BUY with ebay knowing they have your back SELL with ebay... different story . Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 12/01/2020 10:50 pm Actually, it appears legit. I was doubtful at first but here's a link I found. http://numismatics.org/1120-ebaystore/ Edited by TNG 12/01/2020 10:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7614 Posts	Posted 12/01/2020 10:59 pm Makes sense to sell off low value common items and use the funds to support the society or make purchases. Astute collectors do pretty much the same thing.... we call it thinning the herd! Report this Post to the Staff
norantyki Valued Member 404 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 02:14 am Very strange, as a large and recognized organization, you would have figured that they would have approached ebay directly and gotten some sort of special treatment (some sort of disclaimer, special symbol, template, etc), not just started a normal account with no feedback. Although very odd, does seem legit, as per the above article shared by @TNG. Also, worth a note that their description is a little underwhelming. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 06:58 am When I looked up the ANA,they are located in Colorado. The ebay seller is out of New York,why? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 07:05 am @John1, it is not the ANA. It is the ANS ( American Numismatic Society), which I admit I did not know exist until today. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 07:18 am And the ANS is the older of the two organizations having been founded in 1858. ANA was 1891. Report this Post to the Staff

cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2362 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 09:47 am I read the Op post too fast and ANA is in Colorado so I was ready to think this was a fake. I never heard of ANS so I learned something - thanks. Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win". Dream On by Aerosmith Report this Post to the Staff

nss-52 Moderator United States 54280 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 09:58 am http://numismatics.org/1120-ebaystore/ EDIT: oops, link already provided oddly, their webpage does not mention the actual ebay ID, nor does the page currently link to the ebay listings.

nss-52 Moderator United States 54280 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 11:12 am I called the ANS, and this is indeed their ebay account. They are just getting started with ebay. They are going to fix their webpage to show the ebay ID, and link to their ebay listings. ps. beautiful medals Show your financial support of the Coin Community Family (click here) See my topic on Mexican Numismatic Medals (click here) Report this Post to the Staff
