ebay took this listing down and linked to their currency policies, none of which i’m violating. does anyone know what i’m doing wrong on this listing?

Weird.. But just an observation. How is it that you normally list from the USA and should be on the USA main site platform and the listing is showing a British Sterling pound amount? Never seen that on any of our listings.
Next the US dollar amount of $124.99 does not equal $95.90 it equals $99.41 but I would think that is some sort of an internal Ebay calculated amount error. At lest according to a quick Google online currency converter calculator.
The title seems OK and does nothing more than just states what it is, and that info. is also actually printed on the item, so don’t see a problem there.
In you own words, give Ebay a call and see what they say. If you got this posted on the United Kingdom site, then shows it ships from the USA as a point of origin? Were you doing some research on the United Kindom platform, then got an item listed on there? Worth asking so you can watch out for it in the future.
Other than that, who knows???

I sometimes end up on the US site when I type in ebay in the browser bar. Just checked one of my listings and it gave the dollar amount first, followed by the pounds. Also got a message on the overview page that I haven’t got any active listings, which is true re the US site- this might be a quick way of checking whether you’ve accidentally listed on the UK site.
Actually xe.com says $124.99 equals £372.15, which is a bit odd… oh, hang on, I typed the wrong year in. That’s next year’s rate. 😉

Ryanne, in any case. I believe in the old saying that knowledge is power. You are an anchor store, so give them a call and ask, hey what’s up, educate me so I know in the future. What if you had a whole collection of these and the only difference was the dates and-or condition. You would create one, then duplicate the listing 50 times and the edit the dates and list.
Then, you would have 50 listings with the “Error” unknown to you and you would have 50 listings killed. So, I would call and ask.
Just my opinion.

(wild-haired guess) Numistrust maybe not a recognised grading company. The title might be seen to imply that Numistrust has given a numeric grade of 1932 to the coin (you’re not allowed to give numeric grades from a non-recognised grading firm in the title).
Anyway, Nu Mistrust?

Antique could have been right except that a search of the top 5 or 10 coin grading companies does not have a first party grading company by that name.
But another search for 3rd party grading companies and there is one called ….
NGC – Numismatic Guaranty Corporation of America – P.O. Box 4776 – Sarasota, FL 34230
and a 2nd one called
NCS – Numismatic Conservation Services, L.L.C. (a division of NGC) – P.O. Box 4750 – Sarasota, FL 34230
and a 3rd one called…
NTC – Numistrust – 7154 N. University Dr. Suite #210 – Ft. Lauderdale FL, 33321-2916So a company by that name does exist.
Here is the link I found and there seems to be a lot of them in the 3rd party classification.
Maybe Ebay has had some fakes or unreliable grading from the 3rd party companies and have them on some sort of list due to mistrust or too many complaints.https://www.bestcoin.com/Rating-Coin-Grading-Services.htm
This link is a list of companies surveyed by a higher ranked company trying to get data on standard grading procedures within the industry and of course they included 3rd party ones to see if there processes were reputable and consistent with industry standards.
I don’t think 1932 would be a grading number. Some companies I have seen in the past grade from 1-10 or 1-100 but to have a grading system that goes up to 1,932 would seem out of line.
Now you have the address you could actually call the company and see if they can shed any light on the actual coin [the 1932 may be some type of inventory control number] for them. Once you have the data, when you call Ebay you can clue them in.
As Antique Frog says it’s a wild haired guess at this point.

There’s only three (or maybe two) eBay-approved grading services- Paper Money Guaranty (PMG)
Professional Currency Grading Service (PCGS Currency) and Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS Banknote Grading). What I think happened is that the concatenation of the numbers 1932 and the words “Numistrust Graded” caused some algorithm to reject the listing.i.e. it didn’t recognise the numbers as a year date.-
That’s probably it AF. If Ebay has “approved” grading services and PMG being one of the bigger and more established and respected you may have hit the nail on the head. The algorithm just picked it up as something suspicious, couldn’t make sense of it and killed the listing.
So maybe a little work on the title like Lincoln Wheat Penny Collectible Coin Dated 1932 Graded Slabbed by Numistrust Co [80 characters] or some such variation to get a few key words in there like Lincoln, Coin, Graded, Collectible, etc., etc. Repost and it will fly like a champ?
Good luck Ryanne…

thanks for all the insight! i think you guys might be on to something with the Numitrust stuff, i’m guessing that was the issue. that might have been why i said “see photo” in the title, which i never usually do. because i wanted people to see it was graded even if it wasn’t from the big 3.
