    From the looks of it, there's reasons why you haven't, it's tacky!

    This is what you get when you put a 12 year old in charge of running your eBay auctions.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible.

    Somebody help me out here. What is wrong with the pictures, other than each of you personally don't approve of them?.image

    I'll bet you'd put that type picture in your own auctions if they would sell better.image

    How about getting a little better picture of the coin, instead of special effects.

    I admit I don't approve. If they want to spruce up a coin pic, at least use a little class. This is frivolous hype done poorly. A little Photoshop knowledge is a dangerous thing in the hands of an amateur (or whatever software they used).

    Somehow I don't think it will help them sell better. Then again, eBay bidders can be surprising... image

    Surprising? I think you spelled stupid wrong.
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."
    John Marnard Keynes, The Economic Consequences of the Peace, 1920, page 235ff
