Check out this seller's ebay offerings ...

http://www.ebay.com/sch/1978jones-c...047675.l2562

IMHO, the 1864 appears to be a large motto, but I can't say for sure. Is the 1909-S Indian genuine? Then, there are two, common date, low grade Mercury dimes with a %50 minimum. These listings and pics are alarming to me. Then too, the seller's had but two sales as yet ... He offers both a 14 day AND/OR a 3 day return?

Another observation ... This seller previously sold an 1886-O Morgan %1 for which his pics were fine. Why are his pics of "supposed" key coins so poor in comparison ... Hmmm.

There is no way that I would bid on these coins. The picture of the IHC is too blurred to even attempt a grade. At best it appears to be harshly cleaned, at worse it could be fake. There is no way to tell. You have to believe he is deliberately hiding something. I can't believe there is already 16 bids on this coin.

With those pics--they could be walking straight into a trap. Is it my eyes, or is something really off about the first few feather tips, in terms of shape/spacing.

Why does the 1909 look like a 1908? Looks fake to me!

Definitely large motto on the 2 cent piece.
I'm looking for a 09's IHC and wouldn't dream of buying that one.
Way too many red flags here!

If I cannot see it, I would not bid on it. [Indian]
That is enough reason to pass.
SAD!

I don't know how any of you can say that's fake or not. I can barely tell it's an Indian Head at all!

I don't know about you guys, but I'd call "VERY questionable" a very charitable description of what's going on here.

Even with the blurry pictures that 2 center stands right out as a large motto

I can take better pictures with my eyes closed.
Don't trust those pictures with his open.

The 2 cent is large motto looking at the "T" in "Trust."
Small motto the "T" touches the crease in the ribbon.
