<p>[QUOTE="ksparrow, post: 924616, member: 7638"]Well, I'm sure no expert on these. Matt's photo to me looks a lot more "real" than the seller's. I have one DMPL Morgan, and I will post an image. PCGS seems to think it is ok. Like the coin in the o.p., it has some frost breaks on the stars, letters, and date. Does this mean my coin is doctored? I don't think so. Applied frost, I believe, would be some sort of a fluid and as such would tend to bleed around the edges of the devices. I don't see this on Matt's photo or on mine. I think it would also tend to flake off, once dry, and leave sharp-edged bare spots where it came off. It doesn't look that way to me on either coin. My opinion-- that of a nonexpert and without having seen the coin in hand, as Matt has-- is that I am not convinced that it has been played with. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/other%20dollars/morgan1884-ccDMPLobv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/other%20dollars/morgan1884-ccDMPLrevver2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
