This is an 1887-S Morgan for sale on ebay.Does anybody else think the breast feathers have been photo shopped? Or is it my old eyes.

What's bothering me is what appears to be a straight line across the top of the breast and a number of vertical lines on the far left side.

Possible but still I'd attribute it to a glitch in scanning. If you'd like, PM me the link to the auction so I can take a look at the other pics

I can understand lighting alterations but photoshop seems kind of excessive. Does the seller have a return policy?

TLS5933,

Is the coin in a slab? I usually see this kind of distortion where the coin contacts the slab, or the imperfection is on the plastic, not the coin. With a 10-day return, you should be safe (unless shipping is outrageous).

Dave,
No the coin is raw. I have decided to pass on this coin. Just a gut feeling.
