um, haven't TPG's been around for more than 25 years?

Why no pics of the cert # with the coin in the photo?

Did they mint gold in Philly in 1907?


Something else I'm missing?

aren't all 1907 "no motto"?

May be a style reason for not shownig the coin in holder. You can always ask the person for a photo of coin in cert. Nothing off-hand raises a flag for me.

Good catch. I didn't notice that.

Bingo!

Maybe the seller is using a generic reverse picture?

I asked the seller if the photo used was the actual coin. Waiting for his reply.

Ultra - rare w/motto 1907?

Looks like the same reverse pic used for his 1914-s.

My goodness, you guys are worrying about small details. So what if it has a motto?

Just got this response from the seller:

"Hi again:

Trust me the only error was made by me!!! The coin is a NM variety and I am still trying to figure out how it happened. All the other Saint reverses are as they should be!!!
Thanks again for pointing out the error.

If you still want a photo send me ur e-mail adr. Cannot send photos or attachments thru the e-bay system as far as I can see.

Thank you

Sounds like an honest or at least plausible mistake. With all of the photos in my files, I can relate...
