    A buyer left a feedback that says it all: ASK for better pics before bidding T&A is fine but this is not the place DEMAND

    The ad needs to be pulled because of the pic - unless its moved to the "adults only" section.

    All humor and funnyness aside the coin isn't well displayed. I can see the sellers intent with the whole sex sells thing...which it does. I'm sure he gets more hits with that photo than with a normal photo. I don't relly mind the pic but I would never bid on the auction. If he had the girly pic to draw folks in and then nice high quality pics of the coin being sold then it would be a different story.

    I'd give you the world, just because...

    Speak to me of loved ones, favorite places and things, loves lost and gained, tears shed for joy and sorrow, of when I see the sparkle in your eye ...
    and the blackness when the dream dies, of lovers, fools, adventurers and kings while I sip my wine and contemplate the Chi.

    Maybe someone will buy a coin eventually and leave neg feedback saying they never got their hooker, only a lousy coin image

    Ummmm....no.
    There is no outright nudity nor language. Don't be such a prude....you don't like it, don't look. But, don't go all "high horse" and say that pictures of scantily clad women need to go in the adult section.

    While I find it kind of a stupid ad and wouldn't do it, I would get all prudish and rip someone else on it.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    What is wrong with the ad? It plainly shows a Peace dollar entombed in a PCGS slab. Isn't that all the info a buyer needs?image
    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    It looks that the picture is of the coin sitting on a poster-

    Is it a copyright violation to use the poster as a promotional aid ?

    This joker has used the same technique before. And this was discussed here very recently. I think it's a juvenile tactic, but if people are dumb enough to fall for it, it's hard to fault the seller.
    If you haven't noticed, I'm single and miserable and I've got four albums of bitching about it that I would offer as proof.

    Yeah, I've seen this technique before. She looks like she's definitely been circulated. I could be mistakin but there looks to be a little rub on the reverse.

    For the life of me I can't figure out how she got in that halter!

    Vida Guerra is a professional model I believe and she, or the photographer has copy rights to that image. Unless the coin seller has permission to use the image he can (and should) be sued.

    How lame.

    I can see hotter Babes on any free Babe website on the Net.

    And I can buy crap coins from any of thousands of eBay wannabees.

    Or buy real quality from Legend or maybe a couple others. image

    ........as has probably been noted ;

    the bust of Ms. Liberty is really well struck .

    and the backside is is fully detailed as well ...almost like a beaver nawed

    away at it - the way it sticks out......begging for further exploration,

    with a 5" or even a 8" magnifier

    maybe if you were to tilt it around , or moved it closer and then farther away

    while in your hands

    you might see the tailfeathers could be fully split

    Attention Postal Inspectors:

    He's shipping the coin via Media Mail which is illegal.

    Where is the coin? I don't see it.

    And for those of you who think that's pornographic and should be moved to the adults only area...image
    When in the desert... we call that morale... it even has some recreational possibilities... and the welfare of the troops is a consideration too.

    But really... it's a good way to hide flaws... a small picture of the coin and a much larger scantily clad (yes clad) woman that probably very few men would throw out of the bed for eating crackers.

    Peace...

    If that lame seller wants to use T&A to sell his stuff he shoulda at least used a live model. Remember brokeazeDave and his $500 bill auction? Now THAT was exciting!image
