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 both of our images of a 1965 Churchill crown.
It's far from certain that his coin is in a selected uncirculated grade, as is the coin in our photograph. It's possible he is ignorant of such fine points, or just plain ignorant.
It is always possible, even likely, that sellers who steal photographs do not own a similar coin, and have the intention to defraud potential buyers.
The vendor is not only cheating us by stealing our copyright images, she is fraudulently or ignorantly misleading and deceiving all potential buyers. Gaining pecuniary advantage by deception is the definition of fraud.
Looking at his 100% eBay feedback, one might assume him to be trustworthy, but this ignores the fact that he is dishonest enough to steal other people's hard work.

Price
The seller is asking a starting price of £1.99 for this coin, which does not sound much, but we sell selected ones for only £1.50; so anybody buying on eBay is hardly getting a bargain, especially as it may be in less then mint condition, and they are dealing with yet another dishonest eBayer.

Multiple Offender
This same vendor has stolen our images before, on at least one occasion, and also currently has a 1977 crown listed using our images, this time of a silver proof coin, although his coin is almost certainly not a silver proof, thereby further misleading and defrauding any potential buyers.

eBay Guilty of Negligence or Complicity
We will be reporting this example of copyright abuse using our standard Statutory Declaration via the eBay VeRO programme, and wait to see if they chose to action or ignore our report. We look forward to taking legal action against eBay for their negligence and / or complicity if they fail to take down the offending material promptly.
