<p>[QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 26061161, member: 104064"]"Only 4 left" on the 1913 cracks me up. If people are that stupid, then so be it I guess. It is an image of the actual coin, bought by GC in 2022 for $4.2M, seen here <a href="https://www.pcgs.com/cert/26876914" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/cert/26876914" rel="nofollow">https://www.pcgs.com/cert/26876914</a> but the look of the obverse indicates that the image was lifted from the Heritage listing here <a href="https://coins.ha.com/itm/proof-liberty-nickels/1913-5c-liberty-pr63-pcgs-pcgs-3912-/a/1184-4153.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coins.ha.com/itm/proof-liberty-nickels/1913-5c-liberty-pr63-pcgs-pcgs-3912-/a/1184-4153.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515" rel="nofollow">https://coins.ha.com/itm/proof-liberty-nickels/1913-5c-liberty-pr63-pcgs-pcgs-3912-/a/1184-4153.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515</a>. The slab and font are wrong and I can't scan the barcode, so they photoshopped images of the real coin onto a fake slab. That's my guess anyway. I don't know why they didn't just steal the images from here <a href="https://www.greatcollections.com/kb/Walton-1913-Liberty-Head-NickelAcquired-by-GreatCollections-for-42-million-t497-4.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.greatcollections.com/kb/Walton-1913-Liberty-Head-NickelAcquired-by-GreatCollections-for-42-million-t497-4.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.greatcollections.com/kb/Walton-1913-Liberty-Head-NickelAcquired-by-GreatCollections-for-42-million-t497-4.html</a> since they stole images anyway. The barcode is clearly different on the fake slab. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anybody who buys coins on etsy might as well take $100 bills and flush them down the toilet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
