<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eac4574, post: 564425, member: 5694&quot;]First of all, I own the 1830 N6 in question that was pictured in the seller&#039;s auction.&nbsp; My thoughts:</p><p><br /></p><p><b><u>I don&#039;t mind if people use my photos with my permission</u></b>, and for the right reasons.&nbsp; Listing a coin on eBay with my photo, and not EXPLICITLY mentioning that the coin in the photo is a STOCK photo, does not qualify.&nbsp; In fact, this is outright deception, as (at least in this case) the photograph pictures a very scarce 1830 N6 small letters reverse, which would probably have been bid up to $100+ by eagle-eyed bidders who recognize the variety.&nbsp; Of course, the high bidder would be extremely irked to receive a different coin!&nbsp; I know I would.</p><p><br /></p><p>If someone buys one of my coins and subsequently wants to resell it, by all means they could use my original photo.&nbsp; My personal policy is, if you buy a coin from me, you also are granted all rights to the original photo to use however you like.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as proving the coin is mine, here&#039;s my photo, on my personal website:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.largecents.net/collection/coinpics/1830n6.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.largecents.net/collection/coinpics/1830n6.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.largecents.net/collection/coinpics/1830n6.jpg</a>.&nbsp; (I guess I could fetch the coin from my safe deposit box and take different photos of it to prove I still have it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)</p><p><br /></p><p>As of this morning, the auction has prematurely ended, so fortunately no one will be ripped off by this seller.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tom Deck</p><p>EAC #4574</p><p><a href="http://www.largecents.net" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.largecents.net" rel="nofollow">http://www.largecents.net</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
