billy_shyne in eBay Copyright Theft
billy_shyne of london (sic),, United Kingdom, eBay cheat used our Gold Proof 1986 Commonwealth Games Two Pound Coin Reverse Photograph without permission to sell his own cupro-nickel (base metal) version in direct competition with us, and mislead any potential buyers by showing the near mint condition gold proof coin shown in our photo.
Crook!
Nickel-Brass two pound crown coins look different.

eBay Copyright Thieves
Many eBay vendors use our coin photographs to sell inferior quality coins on eBay. These eBay members are dishonest and should be avoided.
We believe eBay profits from IP rights infringements (copyright theft), and does so knowingly, only removing infringing items reluctantly, if at all.

Excellent condition.

What's Wrong?
We invest a great deal of time, effort, and cost into creating some of the best photographic coin images on the internet. We strongly object when lazy and dishonest people decide to use them without a by your leave or thanks, doing so in competition with us.
Copyright theft is dishonest. We recommend you avoid doing business with dishonest dealers.
This particular eBay seller not only stole our high quality copyright photograph of a 1986 gold proof £2 coin, but failed to inform potential buyers that the set in the photograph was not the one he owns, or that they will be bidding on, although he did add it was just for illustration. This is deception.
Sadly, it is also typical of eBay!
The special finish on the gold proof makes it look far superior to that on the nickel-brass ordinary circulation coins, so that anybody bidding on his item expecting to get the perfect coin in our photograph would be rightly disappointed, and feel cheated.
He also described it as "excellent condition". which is impossible to tell from our photo. Almost all bidders would expect to get the coin shown in the photograph.

Price
He was asking a starting price of £0.99 for his coin.
If he only gets his £0.99 starting price, he would have been better off spending it!
