The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

    Looks like the same coin to me. Have you informed the real owner?

    Looks like someone should contact the owner with a link to the photo. In this case I think e-bay will only do something if the owner reports it.

    he does say they are stock photos.and not the coin auctioned... just not his stock..
    I do agree original owner should be notified, not likely but maybe he has permission to use it..

    With all the techies working at ebay, you would think they could write some sort of code that would disable the ability to right-click and save someone else's images.

    One's in Missouri, the other in Nebraska. I've had the same thing happen with my pics.

    You would think. Auctiva hosting pictures has a block set up which prevents me from brightening up coins that I might buy.

    That "block" is so hard to work around.....takes me 5-10 seconds to get around it image

    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

    The suspect coin picture has changed... and the real owner is looking for moon money. In my humble opinion, if you double or triple average prices for a similar coin looking for the naive, does that make a potential seller any less of a shark? A seller might have a buyer out there if they droped the price and got a better picture.

    Hope it helps!

    While I have no proof, I suspect the suspect has taken yet another photo from someone else. It looks more generic though and he will probably not have any issues.

    The seller ended this listing early because the item was lost or broken.
