Therefore, using generalized grades such as "XF" or "AU" is allowed per eBay's policy. I also know that if you want to list a graded coin and list a numeric grade...it must be graded by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, or ICG. But, as any numismatist today knows...ANACS and ICG are not top tier grading services. They are known for overgrading and slabbing problem coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>You are correct...I am not someone who makes my living selling coins.

[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1885917, member: 5233"]To which rule are you referring? Is it to the rule that says grades aren't allowed in the title? If so, despite what eBay might tell you over the phone their rules state: "The [U][B]numeric grade[/B][/U] (such as MS-65, VF-25) isn't included in the title, description, or item specifics of the listing." Therefore, using generalized grades such as "XF" or "AU" is allowed per eBay's policy. I also know that if you want to list a graded coin and list a numeric grade...it must be graded by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, or ICG. But, as any numismatist today knows...ANACS and ICG are not top tier grading services. They are known for overgrading and slabbing problem coins. You are correct...I am not someone who makes my living selling coins. However, I have been studying coins for over 20 years and I know my stuff. One doesn't have to be a coin dealer to be a numismatist (if you are the numismatist you imply you are...I would think you would know this). I'm not entirely sure why you are once again trying to change the subject of a thread by bringing up my profession. It's the same thing that happened in the last thread...and after one comment you accused me of being off topic.[/QUOTE]
