Please do, Pete. We need to stop this. I'm going to put a new page on my varieties website to illustrate these fakes.

Funny that R.Ingram is on my naughty list, one of my first ever coin orders. But no, this was another dealer. I try not to name and shame unless it has already been mentioned. But should I be naming and shaming, general consensus? In my head BUNC with nothing else noted should mean as it is. I agree. I think I will stick to pictured listings with clear images from now on. Even then I have to watch out for duplicate images and generic stock photos. Disappointment hit me hard this week.

If no pictures are presented, you ought to be able to rely on the expertise of the vendor, but there are no guarantees. If described as BUnc, you would expect pretty much perfect condition. After a while one learns which dealers to trust and which not. A list without pictures sounds a bit like Mr Ingram and son?

I have done a post on one of the facebook groups ,one of the members is now employed by eBay to help stop this with coin sales. I know he has a hard time looking at pictures of fakes ,1933 pennies ,coins of all different denominations etc , but hopefully he will be able to take some action. I will share your pictures if asked Richard ,hope thats ok.

It also just "looks" wrong, on an intuitive level.
