eBay Announces New Changes for Coins Listed in Auction [2]. The two changes, in essence, that follow up on their earlier banning of “replica” coins: 1.) Starting May 30th, Sheldon Scale [3] numbers (1 to MS70) can only be mentioned if the coins are PCGS [4] or NGC [5] graded and encapsulated (“slabbed.”). 2.) Any coins valued at $2,500+ must be PCGS or NGC slabbed. (JWR’s comment: Gee, do the coin grading firms make a slab big enough to hold a one kilo gold coin [6]? And what about a 10 kilo silver coin [7]? That weighs more than an M60 light machinegun.)
