One thing is for certain its not possible to vote / comment prior to the upload. The votes were already registered by almost three minutes when regales post was uploaded to steam.

I'm not seeing those numbers. I can't find where Steemit logs vote timings, but I think madstacks knows how to access those stats. I only know to hover my mouse over the "minutes ago" thing to see true comment times.
It's definitely not possible to upvote or comment on a blog entry that doesn't even exist yet.

When the video link went up here your post a . if that's what it was before being edited. Had a time saying posted 3 minutes ago as soon as the video went live. I'm not trying to win any competition by the way I am stating facts. The time of three minutes also preceded the YouTube upload. Regal saw exactly the same thing as I did.

So after running the image on www.imageedited.com and getting some interesting data, I pulled the image into PS. The number on the top is edited very clearly. Also, parts of the coin are completely edited using a masking tool. Basically, it is made to look cleaner. While I can't confirm that this is YOUR coin, I can confirm this image is edited and done horribly in cheap software. (Irfanview.)

If you'd like a full work up on his images please let me know. I am no numismatic but I am a master at Photoshop and edited photos. The T-Shirt idea makes sense, but not in the context of a $20k+ Coin. I'd think you'd go to great lengths to prove it's authenticity in the first place, let alone copying over a previous coins image instead of just taking a new one. The time taken would be rediculous for no reason whatsoever.

Yeah, makes no sense to 'shop up pictures of this importance. I notice on other coins they have much sharper images. I have no idea why they'd only give the potential buyer these 2 measly images for a £35k item.

There is a logistical reason why some products on sites like this might be edited. A default image could be taken of a similar product, then they just colour-manipulate it to sell people all the variations. Same thing happens on sites that sell t-shirts, you'll notice the text or picture is far too straight, with no folds from the clothing. They just paste it on top.
But on a coin supposedly worth tens of thousands? You don't skimp on photography templates for that, it would be mental. You're selling to a very exacting audience.
That coin probably wasn't photoshopped onto the top, however. You can see where the little grips around the edge hold the coin, the colour of the gold beneath them changes from shadows. There's a white scratch (on the slab?) between the R and G in GEORGE, too.

@britcoin I have experience with Photoshop (more recently with Gimp 2.0) and because their image resolution is so small it's really hard to prove. At 500% zoom, I can see a few pixels that look a little too similarly hued, which might indicate the usage of a smudge or cloning tool (like air brushing in magazines) but it's so hard to say without having better resolutions. Is this the coin you showed us the tell-tale scratches on? Hairline marks in specific places? If we put them side-by-side there might be more chance of noticing any editing.

This is my findings exactly. I found a much higher res version on their site using developer toolbar. After opening the exif data is 6 days old and the text area shows novice at best use of a clone brush. The area was also smudged and I can prove it due to the irregular square shapes sent in the email to @britcoin - let me know when you get it Brit!

Nice find! I'm pretty sure that coin is inside the slab. I just don't know why we are seeing manipulations on the coin itself. Maybe they tried to remove plastic shine and did a dirty job of it. It's crazy that they don't offer more and far bigger images of this to potential buyers.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

That's what I'm saying. The site itself uses a PHP/Python code to resize the image and load it based on the browser size. Very strange. Also, like before mentioned, there would be no need to edit out the text area of a coin in the slab when that is the most important part aside from the quality of the coin if I were to make a logical assumption.

Yeah, anyone investing in some serious numismatics is going to research the numbers, too. If one doesn't show up as real on PCGS database, their reputation as a vendor could bomb overnight. On Facebook they have two 1-star reviews and then three 5-star reviews.

Its great and also quite refreshing to know not all are asleep and you can have a conversation on how things really are.
If you told the everyday Sheeple how the world really works. They would think you had gone mad for being truthful and honest and seeing it in reality and not getting your perception of reality through a TV fake book of twater. That's the real madness
