Anything strike you as strange in this auction?

Maybe it's just me.

Hint: it's in the pictures. (Or what's NOT in the pictures.)

Buy the coin, not the slab. lol

If he took the pic before grading it, why doesn't he show a pic of it actually it in the holder? Looks intentional that he doesn't want to
show both holder and coin together. That is strange.

Besides not showing the coin in the holder, I wouldn't know, as this is a world coin. Last I knew, I was in a U.S. coin forum.

Exactly. The fact that it was a non-US coin is irrelevant in this case. I was pointing out the strange sleight-of-hand going on with the two sets of images.

not that it matters but it is not the only listing like that from that seller.

Maybe there's nothing unscrupulous at all going on.

I just thought it looked fishy.

And on eBay... well... y'never know.
