This is changing very soon. As @pburn described above, on January 25th they will be allowed in MP. There will be a couple fields that are mandatory but they should be flagged for everyone.

I inherited a modest US coin collection last year and have sold, I think, about six proof sets and two or three individual silver dollars. (Well, one of those proof sets has been in USPS "custody" since its sale approximately one month ago. But that's a different story . . . .)
And so, I got The Message a few days ago about new item specific details being required for future coin listings, and that I would be required to enroll (is that the right word?) into Managed Payments. None of that, as I read and think I understood it, really creates any problem for me in trying to sell a few other dollar coins.
But the other comments I have read here and in past threads about selling coins (or trying to) here in 2021 just completely confuse me. If The Message was supposed to have been sent to sellers with a majority of listings and/or sales in the Coins category -- that's not me. Did eBay just look simply at the number of Coin listings, regardless of how many sewing patterns or embroidery kits or Joan Rivers Jewelry I have listed and sold?
I guess all I can do is read what eBay sends me and observe whether any future listings of my coins are problem-free. Apparently I should get more info from eBay next week about Managed Payments. And the new item-specifics go into effect on January 20 (if my memory is right about what The Message said). That is also OK with me as I have decided not to list anything else until after January 20 for other reasons.
January 25th is when the coin and paper money listings are allowed for those in MP.

"...they have confirmed that members will not be activated in managed payments before the date when they can actually list items within the category."
and,
"Already activated sellers (as an example, a primarily clothing seller who occasionally lists coins) would follow the same rule: they would not be able to list coins within payments until at least that date. "
I'm still waiting for an official ebay announcement on this and changes to ebay's policy pages.
Right now they are just sending emails to sellers this may affect from what their history shows or something. We have asked for an announcement on this subject via the Weekly Chat and they are passing that along to the appropriate team.
