[QUOTE="mitchell, post: 14775, member: 989"]I never doubt that the picture may be stock, or even one they downloaded from someone else. Often sellers will include "the coin pictured is the coin you are bidding on..." a lot of sellers will also indicate a stock photo. But, to post a picture of an 1879, and the title of the auction is 1879, then, to ship an 1878 pushes the limits of even the issue of stock pictures. Even though I will keep what the seller sent me, I notified Ebay anyway. They probably will not do anything, perhaps it will cause the seller to be a little more honest next time. And it is not a total loss, it is a nice coin I received. If he had properly described it, and I won, I would be satisfied. BUT, the only reason I went after this coin was because of the second reverse, the apparent good condition of the coin, and the price. I have enough 1878-S Morgans, I went after the cherry. That is why I watch Ebay like I do. I have gotten whizzed and polished Morgans off Ebay, and this is the least amount of "getting taken" of them all. It is probably as much about the principle as anything. Thanks for the input\feedback.[/QUOTE]
