Was looking around ebay and came across this auction. It's a 1988 PCGS MS70 SAE but if you look the pictures, the reverse pic of the coin is a coin in an NGC slab. Anyone else see any other red flags with this auction or this seller?

    Wouldn't touch it. At least one of their other listings uses GreatCollections images, as well.

    Auctions such as this tell me to just walk on by.... I rarely buy from ebay anymore.... however, I often browse listings... As often as I see questionable ones (such as this), I often wonder how many without the danger signs are bad as well.....Cheers, RickO

    Thanks for the tips. I was into one of his proof seated quarters but there were too many red flags with his other auctions. I just wanted to run it past the group first since you guys are the seasoned veterans.

    thank you

    It's pretty easy to get pics mixed up when creating listings. Maybe just ask the seller what's up?

    If you do what you always did, you get what you always got.

    While I don't doubt there's a lot more red flags than that, I'm sure there's a lot of people who will save and reuse the pictures from the auction house they bought from when they try to resell the coin. Nothing wrong with letting the people with the best equipment for it shoulder the work
