1943 SILVER WALKING LIBERTY HALF HIGHEST AU ++ GRADE SILVER HALF DOLLAR 68 YEAR OLD 1943 WALKING LIBERTY HALF DOLLAR RAW AU-58 You really must check out the photos!
You know what's really scary; that joker has 100% positive feedback with almost 4000 sales. Maybe he just put the wrong photo in by mistake.
I was thinking "wrong photo", too, but look at his other auctions. He seems to have an... optimistic eye for grading.
I don't know... this other auction of his shows another AU58 which looks alot better: http://cgi.ebay.com/1942-SILVER-WAL...81?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item53e6f795c5
Seller told me he used that as a template but never had a chance to upload the actual AU coin images.
Not surprising, but it does make him look kind of dumb. Of course, if he'd erred in the other direction -- showing an AU image for a VG-F coin -- it would've meant a quick SNAD. I won't buy from people who are careless with their photos unless I'm basing my purchase solely on melt value. Or unless I think it's caused an auction to fly under others' radar.
I missed this..... Ive seen people post blurry or distant images of the coin and Ive taken a risk and made a purchase before. Sometimes its just a tech-un-savy seller. Ive picked a few good deals off ebay this way.
