It’s not that hard to shoot in-focus photos of the whole slab. If you don’t get a good photo, you take another one. How hard is that? He can’t shoot a photo of the whole slab, but he can shoot a close-up of the coin? Does anyone else see what is wrong here?
Who uses film anymore if you are posting photos to eBay on any regular basis. I have not used film in more than a decade.
I can't tell if it's 36 or 26 even when I enlarge it. The last 2 photos clearly show the date as 1926. Doesn't mean it's the same slab. Also curious as to why those last 2 pics are so clear compared to the other ones.
That assumes people are perfectly logical and rational. The more years I live, the more I realize this is not the case. However, the bait-and-switch theory is very plausible
No reply. I may try again but my feeling right now is there's something rotten here. Too bad, the pictures without the certification number show a nice exanple in XF-45 condition. The question is whether those pictures are of a different coin than what's in the blurry slab pictures. I'll update this thread if I get any response from the seller.
OK, I'll play dumb. Here's the question I sent: If he doesn't answer this one, he might just be away. If he does, but ignores the ones asking for a cert #, I'd assume he's trying to run a scam. (OK, actually, I'm assuming he's running a scam either way.)
Just a follow up on my questions to the seller. I sent two messages about the blurry images of the slab and asked either to show better images or provide the NGC certification number. I got no response from both messages. One can reasonably assume that the blurry images are not unintentional and the seller hopes to scam the buyer.
I agree it looks like '36. And the cert number looks like 1895355-001. But who knows on this one... Hard Pass
Well, that would be entertaining, but it doesn't match the slab: NGC Cert # 1895355-001 NGC Description 1936 5C NGC Grade NOT GENUINE I hauled the images into Photoshop, but couldn't get anywhere with the cert number.
A few of us have contacted the seller asking for clearer photos but haven't received a reply. Wonder why?
