Something Odd With This 1925 Nickel

Good old "senseless" and his exaggerated grading. What do you see wrong with this coin Jon? I think the lack of field detail that makes the coin look better is just photography

Good Day all, I think it would be a good idea here on the forms to start a list of bad , fraudulent , and misrepresenting sellers found or experienced on ebay so as to provide the warning and buyer beware to new collectors such as myself and even the experienced folks so that slowly the cheats can be weeded out . Is there such a list now ?

I would agree with SPP. One needs to tread lightly as these lists can get out of control. What if someone makes a legitimate listing error? etc... I'm currently working on a portion of a website that would track coin losses (theft, loss, mail loss) for dealers and individuals. I wanted to include ebay accounts associated with those losses (where applicable) to potentially weed out ebay abuse but was advised against it because of potential libel. I don't like over marketed or fraudulent listings on ebay (or any other online venue)any more than the next guy and I wish something could be done about it. I use ebay as my sole E commerce solution for selling coins. Having dealers or individuals that consistently leave buyers with a bad taste in their mouth through ebay sales devalues good quality legitimate coins being sold by legitimate sellers because buyers will try to price discount product for the potentially bad experience.

The fact that it is a VF-20 (maybe 30 on a good day) with heavily cleaned/whizzed fields dressed up in MS-62 plastic should be enough to pass on this. I agree, the 5 looks too fat/bulky
