It appears they are digitally adding the luster to their coins. Every coin has the same luster.  Show your financial support of the Coin Community Family (click here)See my topic on Mexican Numismatic Medals (click here) |

Yes, appears to be the creative use of image processing tools.

A big reason I quit using ebay to buy raw, ungraded coins, just from a picture, for the most part. ebay seems to have NOONE with the skill and keen eyes, many members here possess, and they certainly won't cut off their nose to spite their face. After all, why employ people who will cut their own revenue source, that would be BAD for shareholders, and wouldn't force collectors to open their wallets and dig deeper. There seems to be as many shady crooked sellers on ebay, that you may as well be at a Cairo bazaar thinking youre getting a real antique, it's UNBELIEVABLE to be sure |

nss-52 really brought it home here, showing all those coin with identical luster/cart wheel effect. Shame on that guy. I'm actually surprised the buyers are, well - buying into his selling practices.

Wow, is this interesting... Nss-52, those pics you gladly showed us are clearly not uncirculated at that   ... That would be great if ebay would allow any of us CCFers access with over 1000 posts full authority to weed out these deliberate baddies, or to just simply help with ignorant people. I know, easier said than done  ... Bobby does great at that  . Or whatever coin/currency auction comes up there gets routed to those of us here on CCF with over 1000 posts to opt in and pass judgment on accuracy of photos, accuracy of descriptions, etc. That would be a sight to behold!  |

not just 1000 posts - must have been a member for over 3 years or so to get the experience needed to judge the coins and pictures submitted.

I just purchased a coin from him not too much over spot. Will let y'all know how it turns out. The luster was not similar to the pictures above

I will also add in the description, he states that "some" of the coins have been cleaned due to "the quantity" they go through LOL

@nss - I assume you have presented such evidence to ebay? |

I'm tempted to buy one of his coins just to document the differences between the images and the coin received, but I don't want to boost his sales numbers.

You can exclude his listings from your search results.   |

ebay has video now. Why don't more sellers start taking quick videos to put pressure on sellers like this? Quote:
we offer a 30 day FREE unconditional return policy This is why this type of behavior doesn't really bother me, it takes 5 seconds to look at the coin and see if it matches and you can return it for free no issue. As a competing ebay seller it is probably annoying, but from my experience if you having good following/ reputation in a certain niche will ensure you get sales without having to rely on competition from search results with guys like this.
