[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3003953, member: 56859"]Doug makes a good point and we've seen that circumstance before here on CoinTalk. Didn't we recently have a situation where a coin someone bought months or years before was now in a Vcoins dealer inventory? It was simply a matter of the dealer not realize he loaded the wrong coin picture. It's easy to see how that could happen when you have a large volume of coins and have been in business for many years. However, I believe there are enough differences in the two coins in question here to say that they are [I]not[/I] the same coin. (edited: Randy was posting the same thing at the same time :D) Here's the OP coins again, with the eBay images "squished" a bit to compensate for the different in shooting angles. [ATTACH=full]743777[/ATTACH] Among other things, look at the hair bun and the hair tendrils. Look at the casting pearl just outside the dotted border on the 4:30 position of the reverse (eBay coin).[/QUOTE]
