Scammer? pic thief? Both?

Posted this in the PM forum. What does everyone think?

I don't know if the seller with a rating of "5" really has a 1/10 AGE and using someone else's pic or if he's just out and out trying to steal a few bucks. Check out these two auctions. Look like the same pics to me:

Suspect Auction

Legit looking auction

OK, I have a window opned for both auctions and flipping back and forth between window it is the same exact picture.

I agree with you. It is suspicious. I wouldn't buy from either of them. You might want to forward a note to the legit looking seller about the other one.

One more example of why I don't purchase from anyone I don't know or for whom I can't get a good reference.

Most likely, both sellers have the actual coin, but just that the one guy was too lazy and/or ill-equiped to take his own photo, so he "borrowed" someone else's. Unless he has permission from the other seller to do so, it is considered image theft per eBay rules.
