Hi y'all, I'm having an issue with ebay removing three of my listings for 1948 silver dollars that they have deemed counterfeit. The coins are most definitely authentic. I've spoken with someone 7 times over the past month about appealing their opinion and have gotten nowhere. As many of the true Canadian coin experts frequent this forum, I'm wondering if anyone knows someone who works with ebay on counterfeits or if someone has dealt with the appeal process in the past? Here is one of the 1948's they removed:   |

For the price of the 1948 dollar why not spend a little and get them graded by ICCS or another TPG? I'm not good at judging counterfeit coins but if they are authentic this one would easily be AU and worth well over 1000$, so grading is pennies compared to that. If it comes back straight graded MS your looking at a very expensive coin. |

Maybe it's because your infringing on the "Coins of Canada" copyright.

Did ebay say they were being removed for being counterfeit or are you just surmising that. |

Bobby brings up a very valid question, as ebay deems coins over a certain amount need to be certified (by one of the verified ebay certification companies) to list them. I believe that amount is $1000 if they haven't changed the rules yet again, (I saw they had sent me a changes to their user agreement, and I haven't gone over it yet, as I'm not currently listing stuff).

Westcoin You cannot list a raw coin over $2500.00 US unless it has been certified by one of the 4 ebay accepted graders |

I saw this coin listed again I think it was for just under 4 grand. I'll check again.

Yup, price is too high for uncertified. Trust me, if you continue to try it, they will boot you. 224768735274 |

Get them certified by ICCS.....that's a good rule by ebay......As a seasoned collector, I'm always wary of any high value coin that isn't certified. To me, that's a Red Flag. |

I didn't actually know that, I regularly see the odd listing for 1000-200,000$ on ebay for un certified coins. So there is a rule no coin over 1000$ can be in certified? |

Thank you for the help y'all. Since its impossible to speak with anyone at ebay who has the ability to explain things, I am making the assumption that the $2500 max value rule for uncertified coins is the reason my coins were removed and that their claim of "counterfeit item" is an general term they use whenever they remove a coin for any reason. Interestingly, the ebay.ca website which is where I list all of my items since I am located in Canada, makes no mention of the $2500 rule in the verbiage of their "Collectible Currency Policy." The ebay.com does: https://www.ebay.ca/help/policies/p...licy?id=4337https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/...licy?id=4337 |

At least you know why they were removed. I never would have guessed those pieces were that valuable. And you are correct that many sellers list raw coins over $2,500 and those too would be removed if caught. Here's a 1948 $1 in PCGS 66 for $70k USD!
