Same PICTURE, certainly. If it is actually the same coin, then one must suspect some skullduggery. For example, there might have been a shill bid winning the first auction? In which case, the coin would have been offered to the underbidder, but if that's the case, why would it be offered for sale again so quickly? A proper dealer wouldn't be taken in like that, yet who but a dealer would put it up for sale so soon after purchase? The other possibility is that if a shill bid won the first, and the underbidder didn't take it, then the first seller put it on again but using a different eBay account. This is all speculation of course.

Ok Peck i'll add to the plot.I was the under bidder on the first auction I never received an offer on the first auction. I won the second one and the coin is here with me now.I suspected shill bidding until I realised I was the underbidder

It's more likely that the winner of the first auction received the coin but didn't like it and returned it. The seller then relisted it.

Yup, didn't look as good in the hand as in the picture. Certainly wasn't as good as my existing piece so it went back. That's twice recently that I have been disappointed with what look to be high grade Eddie florins. They seem to look a lot sharper when photographed than in the hand.
