    Question posed to the Seller: "
    The coin pictured is in a PCGS holder. Can you please tell me what the grade of this coin is? I'm interested in a couple items in addition. Thanks in advance."

    no, it is not, it is in a holder I had laying around here and not graded by Pcgs, I stopped wasting my money sending them Ikes,"

    I read the sellers reply as "this is a stock photo and you'll get what I feel like sending you".

    Seriously, that is amazing....just astounding...I'm wondering how bad his sight is if he can't see the PCGS logo in the photo???

    I sent over a message:
    You advertise this specimen as raw in mint issued cellophane, but the picture you show clearly is of a specimen encapsulated in a PCGS slab.

    So which is it?

    Please kindly advise.

    Thanks.

    I'm curious to see what the seller's response is...

    Awesome, I can't wait to read about the response. (maybe PCGS is a special kind of cellophane???)
     
  8. I agree with this point. The seller is using a stock photo of a PCGS graded coin and will then send raw coins that are not even close in quality. Obviously, his/her new "business philosophy" includes mis-advertisement/deception. :rolling: TC

    LOL! So let's say this Seller sends the Buyer some random raw Ike that's far from the quality pictured in the 'stock photo', but the coin received ends up being somewhat better than another raw coin the Buyer may already own... the Buyer should be able to complain that the Seller's coin doesn't match the item description as described and be allowed to return any similar coin because it's only representative of what the transaction was for in the first place and there's no record of what was sent to the Buyer in the first place. :goofer: Not that I feel the Buyer will receive anything of any quality to begin with but the Buyer might get a chance to upgrade!
