    Nice eye, I find it funny that the seller did not even orientate it properly. :facepalm:
    This specific seller has been on my "don't buy from" list for awhile now.
    Too much funny business going on in his "shop".

    All you can do is report them & hope that eBay does the right thing.

    Shouldn't the reverse design be backwards?

    Yes, it should be backwards. and it should also be green! This was obviously made on a copying machine using black ink.

    I agree but cannot blame the good sellers for the odd scammer. There are plenty of decent sellers on the platform (you just have to be vigilant & know what type of red flags to look for so you can spot/avoid the bad apples). I honestly would rather purchase a few UNC notes from a "power seller" than the majority of online coin shops with overpriced listings.
    Private sales:
    My favourite way of buying is from other collectors. That's how I built my collection years ago. I purchased many World lots about 5 or 6 years ago & can now sell my duplicates for less than most eBay sellers (& cover my expenses). Nobody's getting rich - its just part of the hobby for me.

    maybe a running list of bad apples would help honest sellers and undereducated buyers?

    Great idea (just not sure how many will come here to check/prior to shopping).
