    Apparently PCGS has a new slab. According to this listing's item specifics, the coin is PCGS certified.

    I don't know. I don't see the bar code or the cert #. I think this might be a fake.

    I may be swatting a fly with a bazooka but I reported his PCGS claim to EBay. Otherwise, I would have laughed it off.

    But PCGS could be "Plastic Case Guards (against) Scratches" !!

    You guys, he just took a pcgs 50d listing and clicked "sell one like this" without editing the item specifics. If I've done that once I've done it a thousand times. Look at his other listings (which I have not) and judge if he's a nefarious seller before reporting. You can really hurt someone's livelihood over a simple mistake or two. Just sayin ;)

    I know this wasn't directed at me, but just want to say I didn't report the listing. I didn't start the thread for others to either. I only did so cause I thought it was funny.

    With that said, I don't have any issues with people reporting it. I don't think anyone here wants to mess with another persons livelihood (I know I don't). However if someone is going to sell on eBay then they should do so properly. Assuming they aren't mentally challenged, it's difficult to feel sympathy for someone who does such an incompetent job at creating a listing. You could make the case that the seller is messing with other sellers livelihood by incorrectly placing his listing.

    Again, I'm not judging anyone here on either side of this issue. Just pointing out the good and bad as I see it.

    Ya, it wasn't directed at anyone specifically I just think there's so much to worry about on ebay that minor clerical errors shouldn't ding someone. That's a bit much imho but with that said it's not like ebay will do anything about it anyway

    Looks like it shifted a bit to the right also. Might need to bang on it a bit to get the Nickel to straighten out properly! :woot:
