Deal of the day.

What Jamie says is true - what this seller is trying to do is deceive people into believing that the coin in the auction is MS-66.

I realized this from first time i seen that. That is no way a BU example. I was just pointing this out. I opened one of my rolls last night wondering what they were selling for. But thank you.

The product detail is a self populated report from pcgs. I think this seller just doesn't have a clue how to grade and/or what the coin is really worth.

I sent him a message asking to not try to misrepresent coin condition to potential buyers. Will see how he responds.

I think it is a MS 70 from what my eyes can see..lol...What a price with a No return policy on it...I want 2 of them..I sent him a message asking to see the PCGS slab it's in..

Allowing product descriptions with PCGS coin numbers for coins not graded by PCGS is strange.
It can give wrong info, imply wrong grade or variety or say a proof is a CAM when it's not correct.

Ebay didn't allow numeric grades for raw coins but these descriptions mention numeric grades.

I don't understand the reasoning from a brand name point of view. It would be like if Ralph Lauren allowed their detailed product info to be used for anything similar to their Polo shirts on Ebay. Getting a brand name out is advertising but it's a risk when they have no control of the item it's being used with.

On the bright side, in listings like this it's so wrong that it's like a joke and most collectors won't be confused by it.

If only mine would grade MS65 I'd happy.

[bigrig52]

I got a return from the seller and they said it's not slabbed by anyone..They must be nuts

If that's a 65 then I'm rich... My stash would grade 70 easy!!!
