<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismat, post: 1885093, member: 15019&quot;]There may be a lot of inflated grades assigned to coins on ebay, and yes sometimes intentionally. BUT, there are also some good deals to be had from overly conservative grades combined with not so great pictures. I have gotten near mint state coins described as VF and for prices appropriate to stated grade. Some people are simply not familiar with certain series and use US coin grading standards across the board.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, when selling I never assign a specific grade, I simply give a general description along with clear pictures and include any issues the coin may have. For example, for a BU coin I simply put &quot;choice example&quot; in the title and add &quot;original surfaces and luster&quot; in the description.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ebay should not ban using non-numerical grades, but people should avoid using them, as it&#039;s pretty much asking for negative/neutral feedback.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
