arabian255 from Bridger, Montana, United States stole our Reverse of 1959 Mexican 10 Pesos photograph to use on eBay, without our permission, to try to sell his own. This seller has relisted this item on at least four occassions. It is totally dishonest. Image theft is endemic on eBay, and most sellers appear not to care whether their buyers are deceived.

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.
What’s Wrong?
We invest a great deal of time, effort, and cost into creating some of the best photographic coin and gold bar 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. It is always possible, even likely, that sellers who steal photographs do not own a similar item, and have the intention to totally defraud potential buyers.
Copyright theft is dishonest. We recommend you avoid doing business with dishonest dealers. The vendor is not only cheating us by stealing our copyright images, he is fraudulently or ignorantly misleading and deceiving all potential buyers. Gaining pecuniary advantage by deception is the definition of fraud.

The Mexican 10 Peso Gold Coin depicts on the obverse the sideways face of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla who was a priest and the foremost revolutionary rebel leader of the Mexican War of Independence. He is known as the ‘‘Father of the Nation’’ by the Mexican people for starting the movement for Mexico’s Independence against Spain in September 16, 1810. It also has the engraved letters of its denomination in this case “Diez Pesos” (Ten Pesos) and the mint year.
