Looks like a CoinWorld holder to me!

Based on this person's previous and current items for sale, I don't think this is a scam listing so much as someone who's ignorant about coins. I did report the "MS70" listing though because I wouldn't want anyone to get stuck with it.

 

I don't see what the scam is here. He said INB graded it as a MS 70, they're a joke but they did. He's not trying to pass it off as anything but what it is

 

INB is not a authorized grading service, so it must be raw and per eBay rules you can't quote or show the grade.

 

At $40 open with no bidders and only 8hrs to go it's not fooling anybody. Heck, that knife fight cut on ikes face is so large it needs stitches!

 

Check out the logo on the lower left corner of the holder, it's a Coin Word holder available to anyone online. Either he's scamming or he's already been scammed

 

That's why INB is a joke. They use Coin World slabs, just like all the other kitchen-table TPG's.

 

Well, no one fell for it -- at least on that round.

 

Yea its a nonsense basement slabber, but that is what the seller is selling it as. There is a difference between scamming and selling overpriced junk.

 

Mis-representing overpriced junk is scamming

 

He represented it as exactly as it is. INB doesn't mean anything, but it IS an INB 70. Its a listing for junk, not a scam

 

In my opinion anyone who buys that thinking the're getting an "MS 70" has been scammed

 

A scam would be saying its a PCGS one, or taking the money and not delivering the coin or sending a different coin intentionally ect. Scam implies dishonesty. He said its a INB MS 70 it is a INB MS 70 nothing dishonest about that listing and just another in the long list of reasons why no one cares what INB thinks

 

....aside the fact that Ebay specifically prohibits the language he's using in the auction, because it's considered scamming....

 

I thought it was you just couldn't list a numerical grade in the title but haven't checked it in a while. Either way I wouldn't call a listing violation for spamming keywords a scam either

 

You can't state a numerical grade or show a picture of the grade on the holder.

I agree with you, however, that this listing, while against eBay rules, isn't a scam. If you want an INB MS70 Ike, here's your chance to buy one.

 

OK, perhaps the seller isn't the one scamming as my thread title implied, but somebody put a beat-up Ike in a Coinworld holder and called it "certified" and "MS70". A PCGS MS70 specimen doesn't even exist in any date Eisenhower, and to do that is nothing but dishonest. I'm just glad that an unknowing novice didn't pay $40 for it, and I'm sure on that we can agree.

 

Why?

(would I want one?) I can get better garbage cleaning the gum from under the city bus seat...

 

I have no idea. I bought a really cheap, problem Ike in an overgraded basement slab on purpose just to show new collectors as an educational tool. I think of it kind of like an exonumia item. At least the slab on mine is sealed though!

 

And a lot cheaper too!
