    I was going to say artificial frosting ( chem treatment), but after reconsidering, I would go with souped up images also.

    It's better than that. If you blow up the super-mirror shots, you'll see that the detail on the devices is fuzzy, but the borders between the frosted areas and the mirrors are razor sharp. That can't happen with a straight photograph; if the devices are fuzzy, their borders should be, too.

    If eBay had a functional facility for reporting sellers, I'd do it. There's no hope of getting a report like this past their automation, though, I think.

    On principle, I am suspicious of the description/title.

    My recommendation when looking at photos of slabbed coins is this:

    I always start by checking the color of the label. If I have the same generation slab from say, blue PCGS or a brown label NGC, and the color of the label in their photo is way off, I don't bother. It should match. If not, doctored photo

    And use your instincts above all else.

    Thanks guys, you've verified my suspicions about all the DMPL morgans showing up lately on ebay. They all have the same style photography as this one. Sheese... Chinese counterfeits, enhanced photos, castings,... CYA!!

    I always liked Morgans, and see them as iconic. I find the DMPL version to be a unique item, but obtainable by those of average/modest means.
    Nothing like big, shiny silver.

    Yep, I just checked this out. The fields were definitely “selected” for enhancement.

    Unless light blue is the color of slabs and flips, every one of this dealer’s photos is juiced.

    Definitely. The ones I come across are usually toners, and the seller has tried to enhance the colors on the coin. Problem is, all the colors in the entire photo appear super saturated.

    Seemed fishy and sorry $800 for a 63 in a yellow anacs. Come on. A second tier slab even

    For those of you who have actually seen authentic proof Morgans in hand, how does their reflectivity compare to this created mirror effect?

    Way juiced pics as several have mentioned and there are a bunch of people now doing this. I saw I coin i sold at long beach for a few hundred bucks bring 10x that with a "helpful" pic. I assume the coin gets returned if not they be buried for life.

    Yeah, I'm thinking the people buying and keeping these recently graduated from buying gold plated and colorized quarters.
