Ebay listings explained!!!!

Recommended Posts

After exhaustive research, I have decided it's time for me to pass on my knowledge of how to make sense of Ebay listings.

(Apologies if this has already been done.)

 

"Some luster" (sic)                                                                    Polished flat.

"Collectable condition"                                                                 Flat

"Unsorted"                                                                                   Sorted

"Unsearched"                                                                                 All valuable coins spotted and removed

"Mint error"                                                                                     Hit with hammer

"Rare"                                                                                               Common

"Very rare"                                                                                       Very common

"Great patina"                                                                                 Dug up

"Proof"                                                                                                Worn

"Wonderful natural toning"                                                          Terrible artificial toning
