Also check out his other Morgans. Do you think he photoshops coins?

Yes, the coins for sale by the seller are photoshop. I would not purchase any coins from the seller as evaluation for grade is not possible from seller's photos.

Looks like some really heavy smoothing of the surfaces with some kind of photo editing software. Strange that all of the coins are scratch and contact mark free in both the fields and devices. I'd be surprised if the actual coin looks anything like the pictures.

They even seem to have removed details that are part of the design.

I found this image that someone posted among the sellers 116 negative and 124 neutral feedback replies. Looks like they are manipulating things somewhat.

This is the infamous morgan dealer, he's been discussed many times on the forum.

What's sad is there are buyers who may not understand they could return stuff like this at seller's expense. ebay would definitely side with a buyer with this evidence.

Definitely photoshopped pictures. As stated, don't buy from this seller and stay away.

This ebay seller keeps changing names. When you see these images, run!. This is the type of dealer that is bad for our hobby.

...... just remember the city Arcadia...I made the mistake several years ago, thankfully when silver spot was much lower, so in the long run I got ahead of the game.
