So I got the coin in hand and it does not look quite like the seller photographs. My impression is the seller used Photoshop to increase the contrast of the photo.
Upon inspection I think both surfaces look cleaned
I have bought a couple of coins from seller, and never felt like the images were photoshop or deceptive. The seller takes a overhead straight on camera angle and uses the same background on almost all photos. PCGS gave the coin a details cleaned grade, so a buyer should expect both sides to have been cleaned.
Some coins are difficult to photograph like they appear in hand. Can you post a couple of photos of the coin?
