Well, how are we supposed to know what's up with what? :icon_scratch:

Does this have something to do with the coin pics you sent in? Did you send them a picture of an 1896 2 Schillings? If you did, was it in MS-64 condition? Or, do they even grade coins via pictures over the internet? Most grading companies won't grade a coin unless they have it in-hand. And is this an auction site, or a grading company?

Coins sell By Grade & Rarity.

Apparently yours In the condition it is in,
Is a very common Find.
So it has Little to no Value on the Market.

While Lot: 51972 was in a High Enough Grade
MS64 NGC, lovely and natural silvery golden gray surfaces, a premium example
to Be Rare. So it Is wanted by Dealers & Collectors.

Think of Your coin as a 56 Chevy Sitting for 50 Years In a field
Rotting away.

& Their 56 Chevy as Garage Kept, & Restored down to the Ashtrays in it.

There is Somone out there who would Buy Both,

But

Which do you think would sell for More ?
& Have Auctioneers intrested in Selling it ?
