Ebay Throws ANACS Under the Bus

So posting a numerical grade is allowed only if the coin is slabbed by only PCGS and NGC.

Can i ask WHY the 11c is the greatest thing since sliced bread? To me, these errors are much nicer...

To each his own i guess.

 

seriously? I have picked up some nice Ikes there at low prices

 

Correct me if I am wrong but I thought ANACS did certain attributions services better than the others. Also I have interfaced with some ANACS people and they were serious high level numismatic experts. My guess is that once this is brought to Ebay's attention they will modify the rule (they are seriously in need of coin experts at Ebay).

how did this get on ebay then? NTC Graded ms65 in the title

 

Simple! No one (i.e. me) has turned them in. I was serious when I said that I am the only one policing such things and I only report TPG's that I know not to be valid (IGC, NNC SGS, INB, etc) and do not report truly independent companies (PCI, ACG, NTC and the like). If someone does not like the way I do it, they are perfectly welcome to jump in themselves. Have fun!

 

So you aren't going to report that auction? And what do you actually report them for?

 

This is a joke to not let ANACS in. You gotta figure its some palm greasing BS from NGC and PCGS to try and monopolise TPG completely.

After all they dont even mess with VAMs.

However its not the end of the world as you can stil put the grade in your listing, just not in the listing title. Its been that way forever for raw coins and I mostly deal in raw coins NGC or PCGS anyways.

 

Wow you actually waste your own time policing the site and reporting people lol.

 

Like I stated, non independent TPG's, grades in the title, replicas, counterfeits, etc. I have probably reported 4,000+ replicas in the past couple months. At least they are removing the American replicas.

 

Hmm this is going to greatly increase the number of fake NGC/PCGS slabs coming into the market.

 

In the listing title. You can still have it in the description.

 

Do you guys think that this includes anything with the word ANACS/ICG in it???

 

BTW i suggest any of you other ebayers call and complain about this. It will make more of a difference then us chatting about it here.

 

Somebodys going to get screwed. That listing is full of shill bidders. one guy has 8 bid retactions, 17% activity with seller

 

No. It cannot appear in the title or description.
Lance.

 

But it can appear in a picture, Right?

 

Idiotic auction. States shipping via priority mail, then states parcel post. Screaming at me througout the ad. I totally suck at grading but that's a stretch for MS65. But hey if you don't like it you can pay about $50 in return costs.

 

Your right Lance, I read it wrong.

 

Probably half of the forum is staying quiet, thinking, Oh Boy, what a break for those who can grade coins whether they are raw, ICG, ANACS.

But competition may raise the selling price of PCGS and NGC.
