The seller obviously could see what the token actually looked like and chose this picture to best represent it. Was there anything stopping him from taking multiple photos at different angles to better represent what the token actually looks like? No. He chose this photo to make it look better to get more money.

Don't worry about it then. The obv is an R2 which has 2000 to 5000 examples. Wondering why you spent over $300 dollars on a coin that you could get for $30
Camera shots are different, the first is closer than the second making it a lighter image, same coin, in my opinion. Thanks for posting it.
It's very possible these are two different coins. Same dies but, different coins. It's hard to tell by the pictures. The angle shot makes it very hard to tell if both pictures are of the same coin. The color difference can be just lighting. You need to post a picture of the coin at the same angle as the first picture otherwise all were doing is guessing.
You never know. I once bought on eBay a late 1800s full RD copper krajczar (hard to find) from Europe and when it got to me it was 100% BN. It had been packaged very strangely. When I asked the seller about it, they said they had squirted lemon juice on the coin and then wrapped it in red colored cling wrap and put it in the envelope like that to ship it to me. I had no problems doing the return.
Ok, will do cowboy. If you find any more proof that these are indeed different coins, you know where to find us.
I believe it's the same coin. Lighting, angles, etc. of photos can make huge differences in what was shown and what you see when it arrives. Besides, as long as he accepts returns, it doesn't have to be a different or a wrong item...you should be able to return it for any reason such as, "not what I thought it was," plus some other similar options.
As I stated earlier, I think it's the same token, but something was done to it after that photo was taken.
What is(was) the sellers return policy? If you aren't happy with the coin, use eBay return policies to get a refund. Like others, it appears to be a photo issue to me.
horrible...i just had to return a whole roll of bu steel cents i bought, yes they were bu (maybe) but all reprocessed,,,(yukko)
