<< <i>Stolen pictures? >>
That's my hunch.
Ebay:
CoinFacts:
The Mysterious Egyptian Magic Coin
Coins in Movies
Coins on Television
Plus the sucker I mean buyer makes $20.00 in eBay Bucks!

(which doesn't match the condition of either of the other two.)
<< <i>and he has 2 available! >>

<< <i>Negative feedback has already been left by the buyer. Looks like a member of the coin posse has struck.

<< <i>While the auction is suspect, the use of someone else's pictures doesn't guarantee the buyer won't get two nice coins. In many cases lazy sellers that don't know how to take coin pictures will go find one somewhere else. Happens all the time. Although ebay coin listing policy requires pics of the actual coin and no use of "stock photos" it is always in the buyer's best interest to ask seller if photos are of actual item, especially a high dollar item. Buyer may have been premature in his negative feedback, and probably because he was convinced by this thread. While we know the buyer won't receive the two coins pictured in coinfacts, he may receive two nice coins, especially if the seller is truthfull in his quoted estimate. >>
Well said. I've been emailing this seller and he does have two early dollars. I believe they are probably
fake but now I won't be getting better pictures as they've sold. He agreed to take pics of the coins on today's
newspaper headline and send to me. Probably won't get now

The buyer is in contact with the seller, and if the situation warrants, will remove the negative feedback.
Thus far, additional images have been emailed by the seller. They are of extremely poor quality, but it looks as if the coins might be counterfeit. If so, it's quite possible that the seller thinks they are genuine.

Mark, ask the "buyer" what the was purpose of the immediate negative feedback? What is just a premature knee jerk reaction to the coinfacts photo discovery or is there a logical reason for it.

It was to warn others - you can decide if you think it was logical to do so or not.
The seller has indicated that he will try to get his coins certified. And if it turns out they are genuine, the buyer will remove the negative feedback.

Not my place to pass judgement, just trying to learn. The negs seem kinda harsh at this point in the transaction, when buyer has full buyer protection and the opportunity to neg after coins are received (or not). The negs basically freeze the seller from any further sales until transaction is completed satisfactorily. Of course this is a good motivator for the seller to provide quick satisfaction to the buyer. Maybe it was a good move on the buyer's part after all.

That's a lot of risk to your reputation just to stop a scammer.
