There is a seller on ebay who has obviously, imho, enhanced photos........my question is, what do they look like in hand.

I have passed on bidding on this sellers items in the past because his pictures look (to me) to be played with. No way to know what the coin would look like in hand based on that picture.

Definitely played with

I have never bought from him...but he has bought from me. I BLOCKED him as a bidder. It took him 35 days tp pay me $42 dollars...and we live in the same county in FL.

Interesting that he mentions nowhere in the auction that the coin is NTC graded.

i asked a question if the coin was raw or cert and he said raw

The image shows a coin in an NTC slab. So, either that's not the coin the winner will receive, he cracked it out, or he's lying.

Russ is for sure right, the coin pictured is in an NTC slab.

Interesting too how he has received over 2,200 feedbacks yet has only left 93 himself for others.

I really do hope that this coin is not that coin. I also see another that I hope I am wrong on.

He's got those dreaded "restocking" fees........

Mike, there is no doubt about it, the AU50 you sold him is the coin he is offering as PF64!!!

That seller once had a coin that was listed as MS68 and I noticed that he purchased a similar coin that was extremely nice but with heavily altered surfaces to make it look ultra-high grade. The seller he bought it from pointed this out clearly in the auction. I did some scrutinizing and found it to be the exact same coin. I bought the coin and reported it to ebay. He even had the nerve to report me as a Non-Paying Bidder.

Needless to say that I had it cleared from my record. I never saw him try to sell the coin again but I sure wouldn't knowingly do business with this guy again.

his past offerings all looked like polished fields to me on the dmpls

He should be NARU'd.

I don't get it, how do people like this sell anything on ebay ??

I can understand screwing people once or twice, but to do it over and over, I just don't get it.

Wouldn't cracking out a business strike and deliberately listing it as a proof coin, (not to mention jacking the grade way up), be considered fraud?

Here is what the "fine print" says in one of his auctions...

THIS COIN IS IN GENERIC HOLDER. IF YOU WIN THIS LOT, IT WILL BE PLACED IN A FLIP AND SENT TO YOU. THANKS. GARY

Why would someone do this?

Ouch. Looks like Ms. Liberty had her ear cut off & Mr. Eagle shaves his chest feathers.

so what does this sellers coins look like when you get them in hand?
