Photos stolen from Sterling and Currency website.

I've reported it, hopefully it gets pulled before someone places a bid.

Here's the Stering link.

No doubt same pics.

All the pics of genuine coins should be watermarked to stop this sort of thing happening :ok:

[czark]

I agree! Water marks are the way to go.

Pure coincidence, I am sure (NOT) that both coins have exactly the same marks, wear and toning!
I have asked the seller if the pictures are the actual coin being offered. Will report answer, if any.

Pity it is necessary to watermark. I have started watermarking all my eBay listing pictures -sick of seeing my pictures (and often most of the description) used by others. Jenny's china listings have most often been filched by overseas sellers. We did try reporting some but a major problem with eBay reports is that it is only a tick the box exercise; no provision for a concise statement of your concern and the possible selections often don't match a valid reason for a report.

...... and oddly enough ..... it's totally disappeared! :whistle2:

[JeffH]

Chalk one up to the good guys?

[Unicorn]

I'd say so Jeff.

For it to be totally removed it would have to be ebay that deleted it?

Hence the reports made would be their only way of knowing.

Let's hope they have a nice system now where if they get a high number of reports within a certain timeframe they actually do something about it.

Reporting anything to ebay is a lottery as to if they care or not

That is a nice idea but there is a certain danger to it.
What if a lot of frivolous reports are made?

A good point Feathers.

I'm not sure of what happens on the seller side if the item is removed, perhaps there's a method to allow you to defend your listing against frivolous removal.

There is not.
I can tell you from bitter experience.

[Unicorn]

Wow, that's nice to know.

I can understand then why the experience was bitter!
