 if our hands are similar size, that looks about the size of a SBA dollar.  |

and they have multiple BU DMPL of the same size (I think)
Very odd...

The guy's other auctions suggest he either has a bunch of nickel-sized counterfeit Morgans, or his ebay name should be MrHugeHands. |

I decided to dig a little deeper, he has only been an ebay member since January. Not really alarming, but the first coins he sold were certified then he switched to these morgans. The same seller has bought 4 of these in the past day and already left feedback. On top of this, there have been mistakes in the feedback for these morgans. One says, "Very nice 19430S Walking Liberty half dollar" peculiar, because the seller purchased a 1878 s Morgan dollar. All of this smells very fishy. |

The coins look okay, I'm more concerned with polished DMPLs here. He has sold a bunch before to positive feedback. He also sells a number of slabbed coins. Most of these coins seem a bit off to me though, can't quite say why, but I studied as many as I could and put my finger on it. Prices are all okay, nothing selling for outrageous amounts. The DMPLs he offers are all fairly common coins in DMPL and PL so nothing strange there, I think they are lower end MS DMPLs cracked out of slabs, like MS61DMPL and he's hoping for MS64DMPL money on them, the photos leave a lot to be desired.
He does have some big hands but certain camera lenses can make it appear that way.
