Lost Dutchman, it's even worse than you think. They took as source picture the Teletrade images, and simply bumped the saturation. Some poor...
Or if they were both shill bidders, and the seller was hoping for a "sucker" to outbid them both. :)
That's quite a gamble for a coin whose pictures are the size of a postage stamp. Oh, and it's quite a killing for whoever it was who bought...
This topic was addressed recently on the NGC forum. D.W. Lange (the director of research at NGC) commented directly in that thread that:...
