Hi all, I recently won an auction for a 2011 Full Tube of 20x American Silver Eagle 1oz coins, but before completing payment I’ve noticed several things that seem unusual. The same seller currently has multiple active listings using the exact same photos and titles, and it looks like older listings using these same images have appeared throughout the past year — something I confirmed by checking Google Images and the Wayback Machine. The account also recently changed its username and has no previous feedback for bullion or coins, only small household items and games. I’ve already messaged the seller asking for a photo of the actual coins and tube I would receive, ideally with today’s date, to confirm authenticity before I pay. Do you think the seller and listing are genuine before I proceed with payment? Given the pattern of duplicate listings and recent account changes, I am a little concerned. Thanks very much for your help 🙂
