  • Any other coin not graded by either PCGS or NGC must state “Graded by Seller” on the product description.
  • All coins must be original and not altered from their original state outside of numismatic preservation or cleaning methods.
  • If you are trying to sell replicas, copies, or reproductions, you must state and identify the coins as such. On the description of the product, you must indicate they are “Replicas,” Copies,” or “Reproductions.”
