hey everyone just wanted to say how can someone sell coins on eBay showing only one side of the coin? later to find out the pic shown wasnt even the coin being sold, i noticed a nice (XF or better) vicky cent that could possably be a scarce vriety but the seller only posted the reverse and I need see the obverse to be sure, so I asked the seller if they could show me the other side, this was the respone Quote:
Hello,
we are sorry. Our pictures are representative as we take our items from stock at random. That is the reason why we can´t take any single pictures, also not from reverse.
im tempted to buy the coin and take my chances but would it be wrong to send it back because it doesn't match the description? Edited by gidjit

Be certain they have no hassle returns. You'll still have to pay return postage, most likely.
I'd waste no more time on it, myself.

it is against eBay policy to use stock photos on coins, it is also forbidden to post only one side of the coin, whoever, I have seen it rarely enforced unless the item is reported. I believe nss-52 can have the auction closed for such behavior. and if the item is not as described the seller has to pay for return shipping..

what if someone buys this coin expecting an XF coin but turns out to be a VG? thats where the seller needs to post pics of real coin

As far as I'm concerned anyone that does this kind of business is a scammer and a cheat you should receive the coin pictured

This is pure laziness on the seller's part. Personally, I would move on as I would not want the potential hassle to return the item (which most likely you will).

Colonial Acres has, on their website an option to order particular coins in "VF or better", "XF or better" etc. As long as it's clearly labeled I have no problems with an eBay seller doing BIN with multiple quantity the same way.
Sucks for variety hunting but for collectors looking for a regular date it works.... if clearly labeled and graded accurately.
