Are these acronyms

Looking at Ebay, I see E331 NMT, or E339 NFT, and E339 NMT where can I locate what they stand for.
Here is an example: 1901 Gold $2.50 Dollar Quarter Eagle CHOICE BU FREE SHIPPING E331 NMT

I would guess that the E331 is just the dealer’s inventory code.

NMT could be part of the code or it might mean “Near Mint” ...i.e. almost Uncirculated...just a guess though.

Similarly I would guess NFT would be “Near Full Torch” ...but only if it’s a Roosevelt Dime.

 

Thanks, now these coding are all on $2.50 gold pieces. Logically it must be how he tracks his inventory. Thanks for the reply.

 

i see a lot of these letter/number codes at the end of listings,especially on multiple listings of the same type coin, i always believed they were used to identify that the correct coin goes to the purchaser...

 

Or, they could be the code they use to remind themselves what they paid for that item.

 

I use a system to identify all my coins uniquely. When posting auctions I always put that code in the text of the auction but never the listing line. However, I have seen many that do. I think it is probably quite common.

 

Those aren't acronyms - they're abbreviations.

Acronyms are abbreviations that spell out a word.

Just saying...

 

Yes I believe it's the sellers stock information, so he knows exactly which coin is sold etc.

 

Yes

 

How?

 

Got mixed up, actually abrev.

 

That's what I do if I sell multiples. That way I can track which flip and coin to put in which envelope.

 

yup, and whenever i bought a coin from someone that had multiple listings of same type i liked seeing these codes as it made me feel more confident that i would get the coin i paid for...
