Scam: Ebay 4 PCGS Coins Exceeding 1 Million Dollars

Ok.... So I asked them for pics of all the coins on the table and got this....

My head is confused. I was 100% sure this was a fake ad, now I don't know what to think...

If you click on the info beside each photo, one is made using "photofiltre studio x" which appears to be a program with photoshop like capabilities.

I think these have been overlaid on a wood print background, if you zoom in close, you can see the pixelation and missing part of holder. If it is too good to be true, it probably is.

OK, the item number link takes me to ebay.com because I'm in US, then pick seller, items for sale, and it only shows one stamp collection - these clicks keep me at .com. Click on the other link and I get ebay.ca, which shows all the items. That must be the difference.
The top two photos have a shadow of the holders, the bottom two do not. Oops! Back to photoshop!

These pictures are easily gotten from Heritage website. The orientation of the coins are not all correct. I don't know why one would do that. It is a dead giveaway, being that the PCGS certs are the same as the Heritage ones. So there is no way to claim that it is a rotated die error. This is quite interesting.

Good eye purelywasted! At a glance it looks like a legitimate photo, although I have no means to zoom in to the pixels. But looking closely I notice that comparing the sharpness of the wood-grained background, several corners of the holders are blurry. The coins appear either oddly out of focus or worn, certainly not the gem quality of high MS. The shadowing of some to the right, others no shadow, is also questionable, plus the total fuzziness of the PCGS hologram.

Once again the only feature that stands out is the grading label, nothing of the actual coin quality. Sure sign of a scam. That and the potential inability to accept PayPal, whereby funds would ordinarily be held from the buyer until the purchaser has the order in hand. It's possible that the successful bidder of this perceived windfall would be so elated that they'd agree to transfer the money by some other means and the seller would vanish.

One other sign of a scam that is very common to is the reason for selling - (in French) the seller is home bound with a serious illness. The world has gotten to be a very small place, that a major NA dealer wouldn't jump at the opportunity to fly to France if invited to buy this extraordinary collection, instead it's hawked at low price on ebay, nah because the only thing the seller has in hand is grainy photos and photoshop equipment.

The two top slabs also have shadows going right (from what looks like natural light), while the bottom two don't. I think that light is way too strong to not yield a shadow on those two considering how consistent it is coming from the left edge of the photo.

I'm glad to see the post has come off. Good work guys :)

kbbpll, the reason you couldn't see the ad may be due to the seller not selecting shipping of that particular listing to the US.

I noticed the stamp collection was also relisted. Interesting to notice the active bidders on the initial lot at the higher price range then totally disappeared the second time around. The "successful bidder" had a star rating of only "5". Makes one go hmmm.......
