All of the seller's coin photos are backwards like that.

I am assuming that the eBay seller thinks the images will bring a lot of attention to his listings and encourage bidding. For me, intentionally altering photos produces the opposite effect.

What's the difference between an "honest mistake" and a "dishonest mistake?"

Think like a politician.

What's the difference between an "honest mistake" and a "dishonest mistake?"

 

An honest mistake occurs when there is a lack of knowledge of an issue, a dishonest mistake occurs when the lack of knowledge of an issue is used to deceive. My definition.

I think you are correct, but it is much less amusing than the political definition.

 

When you err, it's completely benign and innocent. When someone errs and it is convenient to you, it must have been dishonest/nefarious.

 

(I obviously post this in jest).

It would work out OK for a 1881

[Mr. Smith Guesser]

I'd say the difference is the level of intent to defraud.

 

Honest mistake = "accident" (positive or neutral connotation) or "negligence" (negative connotation)...no level of intent to defraud.

 

Dishonest mistake = "deception", "deceit". In intelligence a "dishonest mistake" is synonymous with "Disinformation"...the whole point is to convince a person of an untruth.

 

But yes, I'd say the word "mistake" generally implies no intent. So I'd say that "dishonest mistake" is a bit of an oxymoron. You can't make a mistake on purpose. It's no longer a mistake if you add intent.

I don't know how you get a mirror image of a digital photo. I post pictures from a database where they are so tiny that unless I recognize the coin's overall look I have to check to make sure I've posted the right pictures.

 

I then look at every listing and check for overall accuracy, mis-spellings and completeness.

 

Look like nice coins though, I'll bid $150.00..............
