    Ugh. A coin shop sent me "stock images" of a 1916 D Mercury Dime ..
    after asking a few questions ... well, let's just skip it.
    I'd delete this if I could.
    lol

    Happy Thanksgiving.

    I get why some people use stock images for their merchandise. Coins should Never be of a stock image. I don't care if you are selling a 1909 S VDB or a 2019 P,D&S Quarter series. The coin you are selling should be the coin in the photo. It is an ill representation to the buyer. I would like to see exactly what I intend to buy.
    Happy Thanksgiving!
    You should've bought a squirrel! :)

    For some coins (ie, mint packaged proof sets or modern commemoratives) I can understand why a stock photo makes sense. It's often due to inventory & hosting space limitations rather than "laziness"
