Reported to eBay as fraudulent listing. I also sent him a message to take the listing down. We will see.

The seller sounds like a real 🍑 peach.
Seller ended listing last night.....then relisted.

most photography issues make coins look better than they are. This is actively making it look worse to confuse the buyer. Thanks for catching this. I reported it as fraudulent also

Just got a message from this seller that I can't post here because of language.
Might as well add a few more to the mix.

I just finished talking to my
eBay Concierge about this idiot, I too sent him a message and reported this through the automated system, the messages I received from him were full of colorful language not fit for prime time and he did take down the listing, or eBay did and he listed it again.
I suspect his account (Ronfow-53) is fixing to go poof on eBay.
We will see.

I just called about 30 minutes ago, it takes a little while to nuke an account, the coin isn't going anywhere, six days left in the listing. Also as I understand it's his third time listing the same dime.
If nothing else I could always put a high bid on it using one of my accounts then dispute it, I will win and he will go crazy...

I need to get one of those nice cameras. It can turn a 1916 dime to a 1916 D, a 1901 quarter to a 1901 S! Just think of the possibilities!

The background cloth is the same, it looks like this is an alt to try again to rip someone off.
