"Disappearing" errors on EBay - fake ?
I don't know about you folks, but when I look at this auction on Ebay,
it sure appears to me that the seller simply edited the pictures to make the coins look like errors. Look very closely at them. It appears as if somebody took a black marker and blacked out some of the areas the seller states are "disappearing". If you save the pictures and use an image viewing program and zoom in on them, it appears that the areas the seller says are "disappearing", have disappeared because he edited the picture. Just my opinion. But I can't help but laugh at the scene where a buyer receives this set, and then gets upset because the damn thing is perfect. "Hey ! What the heck !?!?!? All the letters reappeared !" http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tegory=41 113 |

A few have been as to match the exact coins in the set as we could not get the true photos. Due to the fact they must be held at certain angles to make the coins disappear. I have stated in my ads, "If you are not 100% satisfied, return for full refund incl. S&H". So what you see, is what you get. Thanks for looking, George.

I always suspect something when the scans are small or blurry.
