With all the talk of stock photos on eBay, who wants to drop $52k on one of two?

To the seller's credit, it is clear that the photo may not be of the coin you will receive...

I wouldn't drop $500 much less $52,000 on a coin with no photo.
Pass.

I know it's a lot of trouble for a busy coin dealer to take a picture and post the actual coins.
Of course, for 52K, they might be able to hire somebody to do it...
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
I've gone to that trouble on a 50 dollar coin.
The picture is so over exposed that you can't tell anything from it. Way back in the day when I sold a couple of $25 Civil War tokens on eBay, I took much better photos than that. That photographer needs to get a job working for the Chinese junk counterfeit mint. His talents are misused here.
Like it would've killed him to show both OR run two listings.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
Who tries to sell a coin for $52k like this? Make two listings with pictures of the actual coins for sale.
All of his listings are weird. He has been brought up here before, I don't remember what about though.
Collector, occasional seller
the seller sold 26 items last month, he's not that busy
Latin American Collection
That seller is UNREAL.
Unfortunately I had the misfortune of dealing with him ONCE. The photo of the coin for sale was out of focus for a reason. Never should have bought it for that reason alone.
If this https://ebay.to/2IBCQL8 is really worth $130k then $400 is too low to take seriously. Same "seller".
I agree. It is crazy that a seller would even think to do something like this. To me it is a huge red flag.
This may catch on with other companies and sites, like dating and potential spouses from other countries...."While we do our best to provide reasonably similar pictures of your potential love interest, these should be considered as only approximations, not guarantees of likely actual individuals. We are not responsible for any misunderstandings and the customer must realize that".
I remember the seller too. Were they the ones with the listing that was trying to accept bitcoins only for payment?
The whole worlds off its rocker, buy Gold™.

Wooooha! Did someone just say it's officially "TACO™" Tuesday????
What baffles me is that you can be the worst coin photographer in the world and still hire a professional photographer. The cost would be well worth it. Todd offers onsite photography at many shows.
Nothing of great importance. Notice the coincidence that the asking price number is the same amount as the number of 16's minted.
Must be nice to have not 1, but 2 different 1916 SLQ's MS65FH.
Later, Paul.
Holy fecal matter.... $52K and "The scans are of a coin similar in quality to the 1916 PCGS MS65 Full Head that you will receive, not necessarily the actual coin. ".... That is a 'No way, Jose' walk on by listing... Cheers, RickO
I have found I don’t want buy anything there unless photo exactly item wb receiving.
