No where does it say in the listing that this coin is cleaned. Worst part of all is that some newbie will get this and might not even know its cleaned and the seller will get positive feedback and do the same again. Check out his feedback, only a couple of people have reported the coins they have received are cleaned.

I almost have to ask myself the question...Do I report it and hope to kill the auction, or do I just let the person who is buying this coin learn a lesson? I dont know about you guys, but if I'm spending over $50, I want to know what I'm buying. 10 minutes of research and this can be avoided.

The coin has MS64 Details.
Well.
It's been cleaned for sure and has already gone to high.
You really can't report it. Seller has covered himself by saying "Details" amongst other things.
The buyer has 7 days to return it but, would not bother to bid if they really knew.

i thought you couldn't give grades on ebay unless graded by a company. Unless since he used "details" that part is voided. |

"MS64" details is a bit of a self-canceling phrase, since MS normally means mint surfaces--and not Brasso surfaces--are present.   |

That's not a penny, it's the missing hubcap from Barbie's Dream Car.

In the description, anything goes, including ms70 pariah TPG. He's roached a 22d, too. http://cgi.ebay.com/260815503529Quote:

I have a problem in general with listings that use tens times the space for rules and regulations as they use to show the item.

So take a look at this one--who bid $20 on that?  I suppose polishing a holed, common coin is almost a non-issue, but those other IHCs are more troubling. For anybody who stumbles across this thread-- any ebay seller whose coins all have the same "look"--beware, either the coins or the photos may be doctored. keywords: ebay, cleaned coins, Indian Head cents, "MS details", IHCs, darkcoinerEdited by DVCollector
