At least the pictures are large, and there are quite a few. It gives the potential buyer enough information to make an informed decision (if they know how to grade a particular coin series, anyway).. which is more than I can say for a lot of coin auctions.
The ebay rules state the subject line of the auction should not contain a grade unless the coin is in a slab from an "approved" TPG. The description can have any grade the seller likes (and often does!), just not the subject (or the little extra line under it). However, that might only be for U.S. auctions - I know a lot of their 'rules' are per-country, and I haven't peeked at Canada's. So it might not even be applicable to them. If it is, then their auctions probably would have been pulled for that infraction if they'd been reported.
