[QUOTE="imrich, post: 8459138, member: 22331"]It's one of the latest scams on eBay where uninformed Sellers "borrow" a nice looking coin picture of a coin similar to one they want to sell. They believe it's a "stock" picture, especially when the original seller states they've sold more than one of that coin. I recently had an incident where I purchased the coin shown from a female who sells "collectables", never having sold a pre-1933 Gold coin. She sold a coin as was described in a previous ebay ad, but somehow used a picture of a "CACed" coin that I verified as being registered on CAC. The coin had never been sold on ebay, according to eBay records. After I tracked her down, and disclosed my identity, and intent if truth wasn't disclosed voluntarily, she informed me that the photo was sent to her in 2017. I accepted a refund, and now have a significant file of others who are using "stock" photos of coins that aren't deliverable. She stated that she just wants to list an ad with the best image to be found for her coin having the same credentials. She was correct, there are significant Sellers on ebay selling a certified image, numerous times. See for yourself, as I don't want to minimally violate copyright laws, or anothers' possession![/QUOTE]
