Is This Seller Suspicious

It may have been dipped but does not look harshly cleaned. He also lists it as an AU so I think his listing is correct.

If it is a stock photo then it is extremely suspicious that near the bottom the seller wrote "See pictures for grade"

suspicious in what way? Do you think the coins are fake? Or do you think he (she) just cleaned them? The seller has 16000+ feed-backs with a fair number of negatives but I guess when you do that many transactions that is bound to happen. Many look like they are from the same buyer when they bought multiple items at once. Most are also about shipping issues and stamps.

So I guess I would answer and say no, the listing doesn't seems suspicious to me. I would prefer a comment that says that the photo is representative of the 'batch we found'.

I'm not defending the seller basebal21. you are right, he could have done just that. He didn't but he could have. The potential buyer could also send the seller an email and ask for the specific picture of the coin he/she would get. My guess this guy/gal puts up 100's of listing per day. Again, not defending him but I am asking what is suspicious about it. Was it the only one picture made him suspicious of it being fake, not being a real auction, what? I'm thinking, for me, anyone that has 16000+ feedbacks and 5's on his DSR must be a real seller so I would give them the benefit of the doubt and simply send a email.

I'm probably being a bit paranoid too having never bought coins on ebay before. I probably will ask for a photo, it's one of the best looking 1921 1/2 piastre I've seen so far it just looks a bit too clean.
