You're right VC.

The photo is identical. It remains to be seen if the coin is the same as in the photo when it arrives.

It comes with a C.O.A., and I expect it to be from CNG.

arnoldoe - I don't know how you found it, but my hat is off, to you. Great detective work on your part.

...and if your local dealer is selling to you at a significant premium above the CNG price (including their auction house charges), which would be likely...he has to make a living too...then why not cut out the middleman and start buying from CNG yourself TC?

Arnoldoe - thank you so much for your contribution.

Because of that I went ahead with the purchase and it has arrived.

It IS the same coin and I did get a good deal, so, again, thanks.

C.M. HILARIOUS!
I am so glad that I read your reply at 5:00 am, and in the privacy of my office or the family would have thought I was 'looney tunes'. I laughed until I cried.
Geat childhood. All I got was The Andrews Sisters and "The Three Little Fishes".

From what I can work out V.C. the middle man 'took a hit' on this one.

Arnoldoe - Would you be able to click on my username and send me an email that 'walks' me through that 'reverse image' thing on 'Google' please? I'd like to learn how to do that.

The buying on ebay WAS me.

Pretty easy to do, just search the image url on google

Step one-- right click image and select copy URL
step two-- paste url into Google
step three-- select search by image

only really works for finding the exact same image.

Thanks for the tip, Arnoldoe.

I have been 'fiddling' with it since with various degrees of success.

Just a bit of info for those like myself using the Safari browser or Google chrome on an Apple product - Google has removed support for the image search facility you describe here and you won't find it. I cannot recall right now which, but one of the lesser well known browsers still uses an older version of the Google browser on for example the iPad and if you download the app for it, then open the Google image page, you will see the link and the place to upload an image file. If anyone is having this problem and is unable to find info about which browser app to download, let me know and I will try to rediscover it...

EDIT: You can use the puffin app and then just go to google and then go to images. Then click the little camera in the search bar and then you can either pick a photo off of your device or paste the link of a photo. Then your good to go.
