    The extremely DMPL pix are in a cream-white holder...not the ANACS slab.

    The description says, "Pictures were taken before Grading & placement into the slab." ...but the pre-slab pix seem much more DMPL than the pix in the slab.

    If you're considering buying the coin, I would base my decision on the ANACS pix.

    Nope. I've bought from this guy. He manipulated the photos to make them look waaaaaaay better than they are in hand.

    IMO, he has a photo technique to make those fields look better than they are.

    Thanks for the heads up. By no means am I interested in buying it. It’s just that something was telling me that the mirrors looked too perfect- almost impossible. Most of the time when I come across listings like these the photos look waaay more juiced (brightness/contrast at MAX).

    I don't even trust the ANACS-holdered pics... is it possible to juice those as well?

    I've never seen an MS63 with that much reflectivity...

    Funny how the mirror pics are perfect/focus and the ANACS is blurred??

    Just another snake oil salesman.

    edit - Looking at his other listings, I think he may have bought this from another ebay source and used the (first set of) images.

    Look closely at his straight on photos; there are numerous hints of image manipulation visible.

    I'm deeply sorry to learn of your loss, Richie. She was a stunningly beautiful creature.

    The reason I asked was because she looks very much like my best friend who passed about 12.5 years ago now, and who I still miss every day. They absolutely are every bit family member as those walking on two legs, and in my most humble opinion give us more than we could ever give to them in return. Again my condolences, sir.

    Nah, it is a garden variety DMPL, with obviously juiced photos. It is just like every other DMPL I have seen. Nothing special, except for amazingly fake photography. Nice coin, but not any more reflective than any other DMPL.

    Photoshop does wonders, along with light manipulation. You have to see them in hand.
