I managed to get this one recently and was wondering if it is indeed a 1999 $5 W with the Unifinished Proof die. Certainly looks like it. I dont have more pictures since coin is on the way to me. Whats the value on these???

Score! Good as gold!

Misworded auction...the seller does have the following that has me worried:
"This is a stock photo of the coin. The coin you will receive is actually much brighter."
Maybe he means it is a proof in which case it really sucks, but if he means that its a crappy picture (which it is) then it should be an unifinished proof. Im keeping my fingers crossed and hope it really is the same coin that is shown

Hopefully he won't be sending you a regular uncirculated coin.

Well if he does then it would be a return for me. I wouldnt be too upset if it was a proof (which obviously still carries the W mm) but if he tries to pull a fast one by sending me a bullion coin it wll be returned with a SNAD

Now you tell us.
Chances of getting the coin pictured are non-existant, since he says you will be getting one that is much brighter.
Maybe I'm wrong though.

I informed the seller while listing was active that he was using the wrong stock picture for a 1999 $5 AGE and that the picture he was using was of a much more valuable W variety. He chose not to change his listing. The fact that he used a stock photo when ebay requires pic of actual coin makes your SNAD claim a bit more achievable. The "stock photo" statement in his description does not void his responsibility to comply with ebay's coin and currency listing requirements.
Also, in the future, it is best to not share an ebay score until you have recieved the item. Your item ended today. Don't open a possibility where a reader here can contact your seller before he ships with a better offer and there is also the possibility that your seller is a reader/member here. Best to keep scores a secret until they are in hand.

So what was his reply to using that photo? My guess is that he didnt reply back or said that it is not the coin pictured. I asked if the coin I was receiving the same one pictured and he said he would send me a picture of the coin.

he didn't reply; he continued to use the "stock" photo. My bet is he was selling an unc. 1999 $5 gold and either used the W pic out of lack of knowledge or he used the W pic to trick a high bid. The fact that it didn't draw a high bid tells me that those that asked if the coin had the W got a truthful answer. Let us know what develops.
