Many people on FB require you to coin your item to prove ownership. So what you think, is the coin in this picture photoshopped or not?

I think the best way to prove ownership is to videotape the item while you hold it.

Send it in to Collector's Universe coin grading and see. Maybe they have the same guys who authenticated the Connie Mack... ;-)

I think the coin is real and the card is just the previously unknown mini variation.

The coin was pasted onto the black background.

The coin is fine. It matches the size of all of my 1 ounce silver coin types.

Or a photo of the seller licking the item? :p

Ah, so it's not a copy-pasted quarter? I should have known. I have some silver coins...

I don't understand this idea at all. How does a coin prove ownership?

Why don't they just put a quarter in the picture? Most people know how big a quarter is.

...because that idea has been patented by some guy in Texas,,,,

The best way to prove you have a card in hand is to take a picture of you holding the card showing you logged in on Net54 at the same time. Obviously you would need to be logged in on a desktop or laptop and take the picture with your cell phone. Putting a coin next to a card only shows me some sort of size comparison. Unless you said to take a picture with a certain rare date coin. Otherwise I don't understand the coin thing much.

Yeah I'm also confused by how a coin proves ownership. There's a fb group I'm in where you have to put a sticky note with your name and the date you are selling in the photo in order to prove ownership. That, in my opinion is more effective than a coin

Anyone with Photoshop skills can add a coin, piece of paper with name/date to another picture easily. In my example above, I took two pictures. One with the card using my desktop leaving a blank space for the coin. Then I took a picture of the coin and photoshopped that on top of the first. Two pictures into one.
