[QUOTE="Razor, post: 599227, member: 18742"]There is NOTHING that says the photo is a stock photo, that the coin being sold is a different coin, that the photo is for illustrative purposes only... none of that. This is the textbook definition of fraud. Stock photos is one thing, but without a disclaimer in the wording it's borderline fraud IMO. The coin appears as a PCGS slabbed MS70, serial number included. A reasonable person would infer that [i]that[/i] is the coin that's being auctioned. The wording of the listing says, "This Coin is on hand and will ship...". THIS coin. Not some other coin just like it. And if I was going to bid on it I sure as heck would RELY on the fact that the coin in the photo - and no other - was the coin I was trying to buy. The only way it could not be fraud is for the previous 2 sales of the same coin, all within the last 15 days, didn't actually happen. If that's the case then there are some serious violations of ebay rules that have been going on. He may very well have several of these in MS70 slabs, but either way, I wouldn't buy from someone who invested in PCGS slabs but can't be bothered to take pictures of each one individually. That's a major red flag in my book.[/QUOTE]
