It is deceptive to enlarge the photos and then paste them onto the slab picture. Besides, the 6 grosz was definitely not the largest coin of the realm; there was the Talar and half Talar as well (not to mention all the multiple ducats in gold), and he's got this coin looking at least as big as a Talar. Also, I don't like the idea of so much historical information clogging the listing; it even makes me wonder if he plagiarized that info.

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." -Luke 11:9
"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." -Deut. 6:4-5
"For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; He will save us." -Isaiah 33:22
That truly is deceptive, enlarging the coin like that. I sent him a question asking the actual size. Hopefully he posts the response and gets the hint.
At least the coin he is selling is graded by NGC as XF40 ( at least that's what the listing leads me to believe ) but imagine if someone superimposed a lesser coin over a higher graded slab. ( ie coin of AU55 over an MS60 Slab ).
Hopefully the winner of the auction knows these coins inside out.

He did, straight out of Wikipedia.
