EstateJewelry66 Twin City Gold of Biddeford, Maine, United States in eBay Copyright Theft
Many eBay sellers, including dealers steal our copyright images, we suspect some of them may also be fraudsters. Does eBay care?

High eBay Feedback is No Guarantee of Integrity
When we wrote this page, this eBay member's feedback was 11,216; with 98.8% positive according to eBay, although the vendor claims on his "About Me" page to have 99.9% positive. Perhaps exaggerating by 1.1% is not too bad, but the opposite view is that this vendor is understating his negative feedback by 1100%!
This is one of the highest feedback eBay members we have caught stealing our images. A high feedback does not necessarily mean that a member is better than others, just bigger.
When we revised this page in August 2009, EstateJewelry66 had increased its feedback to 16,136; and this was 99.5% positive.

Power Sellers - Pillars of the eBay Community?
According to eBay, PowerSellers are the pillars of the eBay community, but time and time again, we find PowerSellers stealing our images. It is so common, and eBay clearly know about it, that we believe eBay act unethically in permitting its members to steal images so easily, without sufficient checks, warnings, or education. This is as dishonest of eBay as it it of their members to steal copyright images in the first place.

AMERICAN GOLD EAGLE HISTORY:
The American Gold Eagle is an official gold bullion coin of the United States. It was first released by the United States Mint in 1986. It is offered in 1/10 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/2 oz, and 1 oz denominations and is guaranteed to contain the stated amount (in troy ounces) of pure gold, which by law must come from sources in America, with an additional alloy of silver and copper to produce a more wear-resistant coin of .9167 fine gold (22 karat). It is authorized by the United States Congress and is backed by the United States Mint for weight and content.
The obverse design features a rendition of Augustus Saint-Gaudens' full length figure of Lady Liberty with flowing hair, holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left, with the Capitol building in the left background. The reverse design, by sculptor Miley Busiek, features a male eagle carrying an olive branch flying above a nest containing a female eagle and her hatchlings.
The market value of the coins is generally about equal to the market value of their gold content, not their face value. Their actual selling prices vary daily based on the current spot price of gold. The American Gold Eagle may be used to fund one government sanctioned Individual Retirement Account. The United States Mint also produces a proof version for coin collectors. These coins are for the most part produced at the West Point mint in West Point, New York, and carry the West Point mint mark ("W") beneath the date.

GREAT INVESTMENT:
Not only are American Gold Eagles important investment tools for you, they also make unique and valuable gifts for those important people in your life. What better way to say "thank you" or "I care" than to give this unique gift. For these special people and more, you can give a unique and timeless investment gift of an United States Gold Eagle coin. They are beautiful enough to display with pride, enjoy ultimate liquidity, and grow in value as the price of precious metal grows. Guaranteed by the US Government for weight and content, they can be bought or sold instantly, anywhere in the world.

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 other lazy and dishonest dealers decide to use them without a by your leave or thanks, and pass them off as their own work, doing so in competition with us.
The chances are that we could and would have supplied the listed coin at a lower price than this eBay vendor.
Copyright theft is dishonest. We recommend you avoid doing business with dishonest dealers.

Short Memories?
The dishonest bastards (that's about the politest thing we can think of calling them!) have done it again, and re-used our high quality photograph, this time for a 2007 1/10 OZ US AMERICAN EAGLE GOLD BULLION COIN BU
