Possible his poor picture as everything is dark in the pic, or the coin was stored in yellow envelope or cardboard. Hard to tell. not a very good picture if he wants to get good money for it.

P.S. you might not want to post unsold Morgan auctions around some of us Morgan hogs.

The picture was taken under standard incandescent lighting without correction for white balance. Here's a little better idea what the coin should actually look like:
