Why all eBay sellers should block "ah-collectibles" RIGHT NOW

Chris S reported this over on RCC:
Auction #1: 1907 $20 PCGS 63
Auction #2: 1907 $20 ACG 65
Same coin, right? Check the contact marks.
Here's the page where you can block bidders.

Isn't this just another twist on the "crack out" game. One way to get around the "tight armor" problem.

Judging by the pictures these could BOTH qualify for MS65. Saint's have different types of luster: The 63 has "brilliant" and the 65 has "satin". This assumes there isn't anything hidden by virtue of the fact it is a PICTURE, which are not accurate enough to grade with in many cases.

I am not convinced they are the same coin - a side by side may convince me.
Poor old AH, I guess his submissions are way down and he has to buy his coins from mainstream dealers now. I noticed he deals with all the major member dealers but I doubt if any will ban him because his $$ is still green.

Copy the photos and enlarge if you can.
Also, there are minor differences on the reverse. Blow it up and check it out!
Another point is minor ticks in the rays on the obverse. The two coins don't match up/PCGS has a couple of ticks on the left rays near the top.
The ACG is clear almost on both sides.
NEVER LET HIPPO MOUTH OVERLOAD HUMMINGBIRD BUTT!!!
WORK HARDER!!!!
Millions on WELFARE depend on you!
Damn...I was easily fooled again!

It's the same coin. Look at the reverse. Identical marks by the eagle's beak, particularly the "S" shaped one!
You can supersize the ACG images.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

You mean that $7.5M coin with the broken leg and banged up knee?

The funny thing is that "AH Corruptibles" will lose money on that coin. They paid $825, but I think that the supply of idiots buying ACG slabs is all but gone. I remember seeing a sea of ACG crap at shows, but now I only see a few dealers pushing that garbage. They are usually the ones that look malnourished, since they are hurting financially due to a lack of sales.
Just look at the rim straight in front of the eagle-there's 2 ticks on the rim, one higher & one lower in both pictures. Same 2 field ticks under Liberty's arm by the branch.
The MS63 auction ended on Feb 6, AH received the coin soon afterward, reholdered it and relisted it on Feb 23.
Notice that AH being the foul weasel that he is had already listed the coin before he gave feedback on it and then only after the seller had left him feedback FIRST.

That's a good one Dog, foul weasel! I like it!
I have been watching AH buy a lot of PCGS and NGC material. Word on the street is he is taking a lot of these coins and sticking them in ACG slabs to take to Charlotte.
