Replaceble fair use[edit]

I am unable to find replaceble fair use images of this rarae coin in the internet. Kanatonian (talk) 18:40, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously, someone else was able to take a photo of it and post the photo at http://www.numismall.com/images/P/w16069.jpg so it doesn't seem to be impossible to take photos of it. --Stefan2 (talk) 21:06, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I know but they own it and want to sell it, not many of these rare coins are availableKanatonian (talk)

If the owner wants to sell it, why wouldn't it be possible to take a photo at the auction or in the shop? Alternatively, you could buy it yourself. The source is {{bsr}}, so it isn't clear how or when the coin is going to be sold, but if something is available on the market, then it is usually possibly to take a photo of it. --Stefan2 (talk) 13:42, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Alternatively, you could buy it yourself, Interesting comment, are you willing to pitch in :). In good faith, I have done a search for this particular type of coin that is subject of many research artcles and did not find any non free image of both the scripts so far.

I agree with Kanatonian; there is enough doubt in this case that I think we can keep the image. Stefan is free to appeal to WP:DELREV or WP:FFD. Magog the Ogre (tc) 18:27, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
