You cannot mention the grade or the company in the title.

Hi - Nice coins. Maybe try the enlarge feature on the nicer ones.

No. Only the approved grading services are allowed. PCI is not one of the approved grading services, so it can't be mentioned or shown in the listing photographs. The coin would have to be sold as ungraded.

What is the policy?

  • Listings for graded coins and currency must have been graded by an eBay-approved company such as NGC, PCGS, ANACS, ICG, PMG, or Legacy Currency Grading.
  • Listings for ungraded coins and currency or raw currency:
    • Must not include a non-approved grading company, numeric grade or estimated value anywhere in the listing and can't show an image of the item in a graded holder if the image shows a grade
    • Must include photos of the front and back of the actual item for sale (stock photos are not allowed) 
    • Must have a starting, reserve, or Buy It Now price of less than $2,500
  • Listings for current, exchangeable, ungraded currency from any country worldwide cannot exceed $1,000 in value, whether in a single listing or in a combination of multiple listings
