Ebay effectively bans ANACS and ICG coins

Which will accomplish exactly nothing other than generate some billable time for your attorney. Personally, I like (old) ANACS slabs which I feel are accurately graded - the latest ones, well, not so much. I think that is somewhat true with any grading company. That is, newer grades being higher than what the same coin would of been graded years ago. Altough it would have complicated things more, I sort of wish eBay had come up with a set of rules for "mid-tier" grading companies like ANACS, so they are not grouped with bottom tier companies like SGS which grades nearly everything MS-70 or PR70. There are definitely some grading companies that buyers need to be protected from, but ANACS and ICG should not be amoung them, even though they are not on the same level as PCGS and NGC. Although not expensive coins, I have been happy with the ANACS coins I have bought, including an AU-58 Indian Head Cent which looks better than a couple raw uncirculated Indian Heads I had bought previously before knowing any better. |

Ebay effectively bans ANACS and ICG coins
I suspect eBay's motive for this is due to buyer taking advantage of the "Buyer Protection Plan" - getting ICG or ANACS coins that were grossly misgraded and demanding "buyer protection", thus giving eBay headaches it doesn't want or need. No where do I see where ICG/ANACS slabs can't be sold. They just have to be sold as "raw". Good photographs of the coins will probably suffice to sell them. Frank is like Chicken Little, constantly proclaiming his numismatic sky is falling every time eBay tightens its sales policies. I'm sure he'll be back here whining about how eBay and his "enemies" are conspiring to put him out of business. Some things just never change. |

Ebay effectively bans ANACS and ICG coins
This is playing out like eBay's rise to prominence in the first place. All
other auction sites went away, eBay's fees tripled. All other grading services will now go away, PCGS and NGC will triple their fees. "The Trader" wrote in message ...

Some things just never change.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Anybody who cares about getting top dollar on resale is already exclusively using the top two coin slobbers anyway. None of the coin slobbers mean poopey to e-bay. I wasn't aware of it until recently, but yes, I am now convinced, apparently e-bay really is trying to reduce the number of small sellers in favor of the big boys. And, FWIW, if you were ebay, would you want to vouch for Frank??? Frank probably is justifiably paranoid, but that's no reason not to tease him mercilessly. oly |

Ebay effectively bans ANACS and ICG coins
ANACS has issued a statement on www.anacs.com regarding this on the homepage
of their website. It would seem they're prepared to come into compliance with respect to cert verification by the 5/30 deadline. How eBay reacts if and when they do is anyone's guess. ------------------------- John President, Society of Silver Dollar Collectors "Frank Provasek" wrote in message ...
