Sure, this eBay auction is okay, and sure the seller admits the coin's problems, but the way he talks about ANACS having the coin designated as polished are off. Read the description, and what do you think? He doesn't mention it being polished in the auction title: http://cgi.ebay.com/1922-NO-D-PLAIN-ERROR-LINCOLN-CENT-VF20-ANACS-NICE-/360198268276?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item53dd7d6574
To me the title is not really needed since one you look at the holder it plainly says polished. The thing I would disagree with is "ANACS labels this coin as polished, but it is a typical appearance for these coins. They were struck with worn dies that give it this look. Its exceptionally strong for a 22 no d and completely problem-free.". Now collectors would realize this is not a problem free coin, but non-collectors might buy into this wording. And this is a dealer in NY. I sent a question to the seller - will be interesting to see what they say.
Get a life. Does anyone ever listen to an advertisement? You are absolutely allowed to take descriptions to the extreme. Aside from that. I think most of what he is saying is more truth than not.
Well, I do disagree with the seller that a worn die will give a polished look. silly comment. but, typical eBay
Interesting did not know the 22 had some of these characteristics. I am looking for the weak 22 D anyhow.
Between the picture of the slab and the verbal description there should be NO reason to accept the coin as anything other than what's on the ANACS label. If the seller truly felt the coin was mis-analyzed by ANACS, he could and SHOULD have submitted it to NGC or PCGS (I suspect he sent it to one of them and it got body bagged). The only real problem is the numismatically-challenged people who look at the title only.
