Title: Possible? Stolen Photo
Post by: Fr45h3R on January 22, 2013, 06:08:27 PM

Hi All,
Be careful of this one. I only say 'possible' because it is sold, so the person may be reselling it.
In any case, they have probably used the image without the consent of the owner.

Yes, those photos are stolen. The real person who owns this crown, graded MS64, is not the seller of this coin and has not sold the coin.

Buyer beware with this ebay guy. What you see in the pic is not what you get!

Dear positivemind24,

Sadly I find eBay has a lot of this sort of thing.
