Something Funny about this??

[whoopig01]

Is it just me or does something seem fishy with all of these coins?

 

 

 

Something Stinks

[midwest]

The fact some look to be in ANACS slabs yet it doesn't say so in the auctions

[EZ_E]

Everyone of the coins look "off" like they are modern, reproduction strikes. But the seller has loads of positive feedback. Is it possible that so many E-bay buyers can be so obtuse as to buy counterfeit coins and be happy about it?

[Hoot]

All photos are Photoshop'd to death. Worthless for any reasonable evaluation of the coins.

all shill bidders too

3 day auction over the weekend is another give-away.

 

edited to add

 

negative/neutral feedback says it all

 

feedback

 

They are cleaned, photoshopped, overgraded and not the one pictured.

[coin1960-migration]

there are many positive feedbacks where buyers felt the coins were well overgraded and not DMPL. Many retracted bids also. I'd say people are catching on to this guy!

[Oldtrader3]

Quite a few withdrawn negative feedbacks and overgraded complaints (as Mel observed). Pictures look manipulated and overshadowed by reflections that look as though they were photographed through glass panel to obscure detail. Also, the photos all look Photoshop bogus as Hoot observed.

There has been a earlier thread on this guy posted by pawnee101

4 1/2 months and he is still at it!

 

Slight change in technique, but same polished

They are discussing this same guy in the USNET coins newsgroup. With similar comments. How did he get those cents to be such different colors? Hahaha! Poor knowledge of photograpy and lighing and Photoshop.

 

If they are ALL shill bidders, who is buying? Why would anyone buy a coin that is so poorly represented in the images?

[AlixTCat]

Are NTC slabs really green?

 

 

Seems like if I were trying to scam people with Photoshopped coins, I would keep the slab in the same color.

Yes they are green as odd as it sounds...

[RGT]

But they are a much more pale green than it appears in that photo, indicating that the photo has been tweaked a good bit.
