For coin selling

It is getting really tiresome seeing all the listings of coins listed as Rare. This is especially true with new sellers listing Philadelphia mint pennies as rare because they don't have a mint mark. Philadelphia doesn't use a mint mark, they were the first mint so they leave the mint mark off their pennies. Also not every coin is worth thousands of dollars. I think eBay needs to regulate this better. A honest seller such as myself are not trying to Rip Off new buyers. Also some are getting away with listing a coin for 2500.00 or more ungraded, which is supposed to be against eBay regulations.I can't do that I tried and my listing got removed immediately. So why just me?

Coins like any other purchase, the buyer has to know what they are buying.   The word rare has nit real meaning. It sounds good like estate sale or antique.  Much better than old and musty.  A number of years ago I saw a listing for a bent penny.  Said it was a rare mint mistake that go out.

 

If they would first buy a good coin guide and collectors book, they could avoid a lot of that.

The seller should buy a Red Book so they wouldn't mislead new buyers. I bought one years ago and a new one for this year
