Whoa! Nice find!  Would this be considered fraud? |

Don't get it? Are they trying to scam people but put the before photoshop pics in as well, by mistake?
The seller's ID is a clue. What are you going to think when you get the coin in the post and it has a D on it? Unless they don't plan on sending it.
Yet they have good feedback!

Knowing about photoshop myself (but not to doctor coin photos), I'd like to point out the tell-tale signs here of erasing the D mint mark. When someone is sloppy using the "clone" tool, they will create repeating patterns as shown below:  |

Yes, plus next time they might want to feather the edges so you don't see the join!

I asked him some poignant questions, we'll see if and how he answers!

Nice crop and paste Job. I'm glad you reported him SuperDave, I noticed the cloning marks right off as well.

Too many of these buyers out there...  Granted this guy is blatantly selling a fraud but how in the world could someone bid that much for a rarer coin and not even look at the pictures? |

Now he's ended the listing and 'fixed' the photos in the relisting--please continue to report if you can!

Nice try--eBay has a server log, and we have before/after pics here. I see he's fudged with his pics further to hide the evidence, good luck. |
