Just wanted to let people know so crap doesn't fly their way. I don't care about it anyway.

you can post pictures of your own coins. Otherwise how could anyone ever sell anything on E-Bay? I'm pretty sure what is protected against is the use of the design for private commercial use.

here's another one; from the Masterpieces in Silver collection 2004:
