@CoinForMe - I think you're wrong. I messaged the seller. They are all speared/wounded eagles. He is a very trusted seller. I've spoken to other buyers of his.

The photo below is from his listing (The link you provided).. Show me at least 4 "Speared" Wounded eagle from the photo I posted. Some sellers see a hit and think the eagle is wounded.. Question: Where does it say in his listing that " ALL" of these coins are wounded eagle?  |

So let's just consider for a moment: an MS65 wounded eagle dollar in a PCGS slab is about $100 profit. Would I take $25/coin when I could make $100/coin? No, I would not.

I doubt most of those are MS65 and I also had trouble finding the spear on most of them when I scanned the image last night, even zoomed in.

Besides, I don't think the guys is going to take 25 individual pictures of 25 coins. I don't think ebay allows that many pictures in a listing. I might be wrong. |

I might be wrong. ebay does cap the number of pictures. However, you can composite multiple coins into a single image with free software. Photographing 25 coins is not difficult. I have done that several times, it just takes a little organization and patience. Speaking for myself personally, I would not pay over $3 for a coin that I cannot see clearly in a listing, with the possible exception of attempted cherrypicking. Lacking proper photos is almost certain to limit the number of bidders and the amount they are willing to bid. |

I'm just defending the guy.... Why?....I don't know! I can't do it all. |

Maybe the guy was getting complaints or messages about what you're talking about. |
