TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4870 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 07:59 am What are your thoughts on the use of stock photos of coins? I think I would like to see the actual coin being purchased rather than seeing a representation of what I would receive. Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 09:40 am I cherrypick varieties so I absolutely do not bid on auctions using stock photos or multiples coins available. Report this Post to the Staff

TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4870 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 1:45 pm It's really amazing how many stock photos that are used on ebay or even the photos the US Mint has for media relations. Report this Post to the Staff

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 4:38 pm Check out this megaseller's listings. They are almost all stock photos, and there is no mention of it. I bought a few generic coins from them and it wasn't a problem, but I have a general problem with a seller not mentioning the stock photos somewhere in the listing. http://www.ebay.com/sch/siriussport..._ipg=&_from= Report this Post to the Staff
