And where does the other 20% go?  The buyer holds it?

I will post pictures a little later today.

No, I will receive the other 20%....unless the bid is high. Then 90% can go into escrow.

The coin has not been graded. I have two of them and one other rare R5 coin, but I dont want them "on the radar".

That makes 0 sense and defeats the whole point of using escrow.  If you decided to disappear, the buyer is still out 10-20% of the auction price.  I have never heard of such a thing and honestly it sounds a bit suspicious.  

EDIT:

Never mind.  I just google the coin, they can be bought on eBay for about $20, so you're about $2300 off of a realistic price.
