<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 2263330, member: 37839"]There are so many nice GSA Morgans that there is plenty of room for choice. Buying on eBay unless they are NGC or PCGS certified is risky--even then, there are no guarantees. I suggest buying in person from a reliable dealer, so as to see the coin in hand, and that way, you will be happy. We're not cynical here--we have all just had experiences just like you, where pictures were deceptive, and dealers overstated the condition or depicted the coin in a manner much nicer than it was in real life. If one wants a DMPL, then one better buy one that is certified as DMPL or DPL by PCGS or NGC , respectively.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Below are two sets of pictures:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]449488[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]449489[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]449490[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]449491[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>IT is the exact same coin (chosen at random off of eBay), but by lighting adjustments, it looks rather different. It took me less than a minute with a photo edit to make the second set of pictures look as if it might have deep mirrors, and it would fool many collectors.
