Yes please explain . Are you saying a stock photo of another BU Walker was shown by seller ? Did the seller state in their listing that they use stock photos ? If so It's not a good idea to buy coins using stock pics .  |

I fully agree with tony. if a seller states that the item shown is a stock photo, I'll pass on it. I have been down that road once or twice and (hopefully) never again.

Totally confused. The original Walker is clearly not MS. You bought this particular one or did not buy it? |

I never buy any coin from a stock photo. That walker looks AU dipped.

There is a reason why using stock photos of coins are against ebay policy. Quote:from eBay policy on selling collectible currencyListings for ungraded coins and currency or raw currency: - Must include photos of the front and back of the actual item for sale (stock photos are not allowed) If you see someone selling raw coins on ebay and using stock photos, just report the listing to ebay and move on. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Sap, I didn't know that. I see APMEX using stock photos most of the time on ebay. Their disclaimer "photos in this listing may or may not be stock photos" seems like it would be against ebay policy. But they do use the word "may"  Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

The seller had a disclaimer under the listing " stock photo used for this listing "
You guys want to hear the real messed up part?
I had bid on one prior and lost and I got a " second chance" offer.
I had never even heard of that. So I took the offer, based on a stock photo. Seller had a 99% rating so I figured you " why not?"
Well, I now know why not.
I am shipping it this morning.

Oof, this is a teaching moment folks.
Never buy a coin with a stock photo.
That coin is not BU, you got ripped off.
New to numismatics....research and learn as much as you can prior to throwing money around willy-nilly, at stock photos at that
You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

Update: coin was returned and full refund given. I tapped the mess out that coin as a form of aggression.
