You can sell any graded coin on ebay. I think you can only list ANACs, PCGS and NGC in the titles - no other grading company. As for what you should do with you PCI coins without knowing what type of coin you are talking about(lincoln, busties, seated, etc.) I really can't say. My first instinct is to say hold em - but I am not really sure.

 

That is correct, only the major TPGs can be listed in the title of the auction. Any grading company can be sold on eBay, but due to the complaints about companies like SGS, eBay restricted what companies could be in the title.

 

ok so I can sell pci graded coins on ebay just as long as I DO NOT place the words pci in the title , thak you guys I appreciate the help

 

I don't think you can put the PCI grade in the title either.

 

That is wrong!

That is a quote from the eBay rules - TITLE or DESCRIPTION! Look here; http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/selling-coins.html. Be sure to open "some examples".

 

Didn't know you can't even have PCI, etc. in the description. I would guess they would also have a problem with an image of the slab in the listing?

 

NOPE! You can even write SGS MS70 next to the coin so it shows up bold and bright in your photo next to the summary line. Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?

 

Please tell us more about these. I knew JT was signing these but have forgotten. Were they FS# varieties only?

 

I have never listed them on Ebay, but JT Stanton coins are very popular, I have sold many of his sig. slabbers..........don;t crack'em in other words, they DO have a market

Ebay will not allow a PCI slab to be sold as certified

I wonder if you could post the label. There are some great coins in early green 10 digit holders.

 

So far as I know, there are no restrictions as to what you can put in you pic - within some obvious limits
