    The buyer can get a refund if they get sent the $1 coins, if in the unlikely event it was just a wrong picture and they do indeed get a $5 gold commerative then they've made a major score. Although that is probably extremely unlikely to occur.

    And the title says $5 gold commemoratives.

    It's an item not as described case if the buyer chooses to do so if he gets the $1 coins.

    I know it is, that doesn't mean that it doesn't qualify for item not as described.

    http://pages.ebay.com/ae/en-us/buyerprotection/sellerFAQ/index.html

    For "item not as described" claims, sellers may be protected from losing a case if they provide clear documentation that the item was described accurately and consistently throughout the listing and all associated communications.

    There isn't even a 1 in a 100 chance that the seller would be able to successfully defend a not as described complaint in my opinion.

    You'd have to be a half Cretan idiot to bid on that auction. Homework unapplied......

    Tinpot, I agree completely. That was my point. It is a rip off artist at work. He said what they were in "fine print". Everything else points to GOLD, GOLD, get your GOLD here! Deliberately misleading. However, you would have to be an idiot to bid.
