1. Are you using the auction feature or BIN?
2. Are you doing free shipping or charging for shipping?
3. Have you researched the selling prices for coins in similar grade to yours? If yes, what have you found?

If you can answer these things, then experienced members here might be able to help.

Generally speaking, your coin will always sell if you are using auctions starting at $0.99 and offering free shipping.

The most likely reason a coin does not sell in three months is that it is priced above the market value for the coin. Or that you have a low feedback, and buyers are choosing other sellers for the same coin.

How bout posting a picture of your coin and the price you are starting it at - doing that most likely will reveal the problem you are having

State things like UNSERCHED coin. List it as a MS-75 . And don't forget free shipping.

Typically a coin will not sell because either your initial starting price or buy it now price is too high.

I have listed things at a buy it now price where people instead bid on it and the final price goes above the original buy it now price.

One version of Murphy's Law would say that as soon as the post was made the item sold

But maybe the OP figured it out.. Those of us who sell on ebay know it's one of just two things: the coin (including shipping cost) was priced too high, or it's such a common coin that there is a huge inventory of them on ebay for buyers to choose from at any price.

I see a listing on there quite regularly. Today as a matter of fact. A dateless Indian Head Nickel for $1,000.00 plus $4.80 shipping. I hope that's not you?
