<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 4206324, member: 112"]So if I understand correctly you think the listing should be reported because you don't think the coin is MS. Is that correct ?

Well, based on what you report he hasn't listed the coin as having a grade, he's merely called it MS - and unless I am mistaken, that's not against the ebay rules.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>To be honest, as others have said, based on those pics there's no way to tell for sure.

I mean literally tens of millions of coins have been dipped and graded by NGC and PCGS as being MSxx. I mean, there's wrong with dipping coins, it does not prevent them from being graded MS. It is only when coins have been over-dipped that it matters. It is only when a coin has been over-dipped that it is classified as having been harshly cleaned. </p><p><br /></p><p>And as I said above, based on those pics, there's no way to tell if those coins have been over-dipped.
