DGS question

I don't understand this:

Can I list DGS-graded coins for sale on eBay?
At the moment you cannot list DGS-graded coins on eBay with the DGS name and grade in the item headline. Since we are a new startup, we must establish credibility with eBay before they will approve DGS grades. We are working hard to make that happen!

Do all TPGs have to "qualify" with eBay before their coins can be listed? I just never knew that. I can understand a TPG being bumped for cause, but that of course is different.

 

Welcome to the forum John!

Thanks for the welcome, guys. Yes, "John" is just fine. And you don't need to know anyone to know me. I don't live in an ivory tower.

Lastly, the "David Lawrence" of David Lawrence Rare Coins was my father. Full name: David Lawrence Feigenbaum. He founded the company around 1979 and sadly passed away in May 2002 (a victim of ALS, or Lou Gehrig's Disease).

Yes your father was amazing never met him but read his stories truly inspiring. I was going to start charging people 100 dollars for an entry pass to the ivory tower there goes my business plan

 

Welcome to CoinTalk, John. I'm sure we can all learn a lot from you.

 

Thanks Doug. I guess that kind of narrows the choices then for collectors who want to retail their coins direct to other collectors. In any event, it tells me eBay is less of a free marketplace than I had thought.

 

Welcome to the forum John !!!

 

OOPS -- my error and please accept my belated sympathies. Good to have you onboard.

Take Care

I would like to propose a question to John...

Do you intend to use the visual population report as a tool to keep the population numbers at DGS from being scewed?

I think everyone knows or believes that PCGS, NGC, and ANACS have allowed, or unwittingly allowed population numbers to be scewed through "out of holder" resubmissions.

I'm not sure if this problem actaully drives prices to the downside in any way, but nonetheless it does give a false representation of the number of coins available that have been graded in certain levels of preservation.

Do you think that other services will try to implement their own visual population reports now that DGS has one?

 

Just a thought, what do you call Carol and Alice?:whistle:

Ok, on the serious side, What is DGS doing that will make it difficult for the Chinese to replicate their slabs? This is a monster issue that is growing exponentially. It will eventually happen if DGS gets mainstream.

I'm new here and this is a topic that effects people new to collecting, when they are in-experienced and gullible (trying to make it sound like you seasoned collectors don't get hood-winked).

 

They have a visual population report.... So not only would you have to duplicate the holder, and the coin's assigned number, you would have to duplicate the coin in the slab. Everyone can go online and view all the coins they have graded that are worth over $100.

 

Well lets see...I don't know anyone that is named Alice...but Carol is just Carol

That's the same coin in both photos.

 

Do us a favor and get him back on the forum. That guy was the best forumite Cointalk ever had.
