DoubleDie Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 02/20/2008 10:29 pm I saw the below auction on ebay, and as I looked at the cheek, and the stars across from the chin, it appeared blurred to me. Does anyone else see what I see? http://cgi.ebay.com/1884-O-MORGAN-M...36_W0QQitemZ a href= https://www.coincommunity.com/go/link.asp?target=https://www.ebay.com/itm/-/310024032116 target= _blank rel= nofollow 310024032116 /a QQihZ021QQcategoryZ39465QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Report this Post to the Staff

Sleaklight Pillar of the Community United States 827 Posts	Posted 02/20/2008 10:32 pm I say the coin is cleaned and dipped and maybe the cheek was pitted and the dipped coating got stuck there and that's the result? Report this Post to the Staff
bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24147 Posts	Posted 02/20/2008 10:44 pm Needs a few more colors and some more fine print. It's not quite hard enough to read yet and it didn't quite get my headache up right behind my eyes where it really hurts. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 02/20/2008 10:46 pm Ah...this seller again! We discussed her coins a while back, and the consensus is she's using photoshop to enhance the luster. The finish looks fake, and look at those blurred stars at 5:00 Report this Post to the Staff
MorganNoob Pillar of the Community United States 533 Posts	Posted 02/21/2008 12:02 am I agree, it sure does look like a photoshop job to me. I am no photoshop expert, but it would appear that she smudged out something on the cheek and in the field immediatly in-front of her face. Its a nice looking coin if it isn't photoshopped, but is that a bit of wear above the ear? Report this Post to the Staff

DoubleDie Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 02/21/2008 06:59 am I think they need reported and stopped. Some uninformed buyer is going to get a real surprise when they pay $129 for a coin that may book for $85.00 or less. Report this Post to the Staff
