Would you pay this much for this???

The photo is juiced. There are 3 sellers that I’ve seen on eBay that have the majority of these slabs and all of their photos appear enhanced.

This is not natural toning. No way it gets straight graded at PCGS/NGC/CACG. It may make MS-64. Buying one of the newly graded PCI holders is a losing proposition.

 

Thanks for the warning.
Now you got me dreaming of first class tickets and a bag of cash
Does anybody ever get sued for an eBay scam?

 

Did you grab this one? Small world we are!

 

That was my thought. If unmolested and untoned, this is easy a MS65 coin, maybe better. But that doesn't command the price this one hammered at.

 

There are several big sellers on the Bay and they all have despicable photos. One does some kind of AI bs where everything they sell looks like worked over with granny's silverware polish (Morgan Dealer) and a couple more use bright light washed out headlights from a freight train to hide defects. There's a well known coin dealer that called out Morgan Dealer on the You Tube, ordered a few coins and exposed them in a tube podcast. I laughed, because I already knew this without ever ordering a single purchase from them. Horrible for the coin dealers reputations that are as a whole, pretty honest.

 

I don't get artificially toning high grade coins, unless maybe they are 1921 P Morgans to get some action. Why ruin a high grade coin? Yeah, you can dip it and start over and lose a lot of luster but why?

 

Usually they aren't high grades (only 64 or lower for common dates) and the ones that appear to be high grades might have some issues that the AT helps hide (light patch of cleaning, a spot, etc).

 

WD40 and add heat...your half way done.
Next move is yours

 

The obverse says 63 to me. I'll push back on the toning. I've holiday silverware and table set that tarnishes like that, and there's nothing "artificial" about it.
