"those are stock photos, and not the actual coins you will receive, however, the actual coins are at least as good, or better than those pictured."

The other purchase I made at the same time wasn't *quite* as bad, although still a disappointment-

Those 17s are inexcusable, though.

Try to buy from sellers who are not lazy and posts picture of actual coins.

Read the thread on "Mikes Coins". I can't see the link from where I sit ( ebay is verbotten) here at work, but I would bet this is a Mikescoins auction or from his twin brother.

I made one purchase off a stock photo auction ... never will again. Why don't these sellers show a picture of an AU coin and send a BU coin?

Are you going to give him the chance to make it good?

For less than ten dollars, it's not worth the aggravation... I'd rather let potential buyers know that they're dealing with someone willing to misrepresent their products in order to make a $3 sale.

If it were just the 24S, I would probably just grumble to myself and let it slide (wouldn't be the first time), but those 17s are so far from what was supposedly being sold that I don't consider it an honest mistake.

It's a "bait-and-switch" scam, trying to lure in buyers who are likely to put in a quick bid based on the pictures alone. I noticed one peculiar thing here: in both ads it says "GRADE ABOUT VG-20". Of course there's no such thing as a "VG-20", but if you ignore the "20" part, it says "VG" -- and based on your pictures, that looks like what you got.

Ahh, I didn't even catch the "VG-20". That's very cute.
