There is a seller on ebay who has obviously, imho, enhanced photos........my question is, what do they look like in hand.

    I have passed on bidding on this sellers items in the past because his pictures look (to me) to be played with. No way to know what the coin would look like in hand based on that picture.

    Interesting that he mentions nowhere in the auction that the coin is NTC graded.

    The image shows a coin in an NTC slab. So, either that's not the coin the winner will receive, he cracked it out, or he's lying.

    Russ is for sure right, the coin pictured is in an NTC slab.

    Interesting too how he has received over 2,200 feedbacks yet has only left 93 himself for others.

    I really do hope that this coin is not that coin. I also see another that I hope I am wrong on.

    Mike, there is no doubt about it, the AU50 you sold him is the coin he is offering as PF64!!!image

    That seller once had a coin that was listed as MS68 and I noticed that he purchased a similar coin that was extremely nice but with heavily altered surfaces to make it look ultra-high grade. The seller he bought it from pointed this out clearly in the auction. I did some scrutinizing and found it to be the exact same coin. I bought the coin and reported it to ebay. He even had the nerve to report me as a Non-Paying Bidder. image Needless to say that I had it cleared from my record. I never saw him try to sell the coin again but I sure wouldn't knowingly do business with this guy again.

    I don't get it, how do people like this sell anything on ebay ??


    I can understand screwing people once or twice, but to do it over and over, I just don't get it.

    Wouldn't cracking out a business strike and deliberately listing it as a proof coin, (not to mention jacking the grade way up), be considered fraud?

    Here is what the "fine print" says in one of his auctions...

    THIS COIN IS IN GENERIC HOLDER. IF YOU WIN THIS LOT, IT WILL BE PLACED IN A FLIP AND SENT TO YOU. THANKS. GARY

    Why would someone do this?

    Ouch. Looks like Ms. Liberty had her ear cut off & Mr. Eagle shaves his chest feathers.
