Hi Steve,
I got a notification in my email about a post on eBay, and I think it would be great to post somewhere on CoinTalk. Where would be the best place to put it? Or could you please post somewhere for all to see? I think it would be of great service for all to know what goes on! It is posted in full on eBay Code of Conduct.
Thank you,
Chuck
Regarding altered coins, there is more at stake than a "Code of Conduct." It is illegal to alter a coin to make it worth more. Cleaning or polishing lowers the value of a coin, so this would not be an illegal alteration. Removing a mint mark or changing a number in a date would be illegal if it made the coin more valuable.
Take a look at the pictures in these two listings in separate browser tabs: 280331149022 and 260379427649. Now go from tab to tab and compare the pictures. Does this look like the same coin? It was bought for $23 as an 1894-O and sold as an 1894 KEY DATE for $520.
