Yet another heads up on an Accented Hair auction - beware!

Russ

Another one that swipes pictures from other auctions.

His scans and most of his description came from here.

I sent him an eMail asking if the set pictured is the EXACT set being sold.

Endo, you want to take a shot at this one?

He's a new seller. I sent him an email saying that if he doesn't take down the pictures and the description that I'll report him and have his account deleted. They really wouldn't, but it will probably scare him really bad.

Russ, what's an accented hair? How can you tell one apart? I've no clue, Thanks,

Russ

JD,

This should help.

The Accented Hair variety has a wishbone shape group of hairs above the ear, and the lower left serif on the I is truncated. It also has broken rays on the reverse where the stars intersect.

EDIT: Also, the variety exists only in the 1964 proof coins, no other year and not business strikes.

Well, this is one to definitely stay away from. His response to my inquiry:

Not only is he a picture thief, he's a liar.

He changed it. This is the email I received back from him.


"I didn't realize you had a copy right on it!!! second of all pictures
are
copied on E-bay all the time... I again didn't realize you had a trade
mark
protection on them... I since changed the description and the pictures,
you
should sleep a little better now."

Yep, to one that is NOT an Accented Hair. What a turd.

Russ, NCNE

Russ

Bwuah! I sent him an eMail letting him know he was nailed. He just closed the auction.

Russ, NCNE

JD

Thanks Russ, your picture's worth a thousand words.

Looks like case closed. Ebay should pay you guys for this.

I wonder how many of the pictures in his other auctions are borrowed
