[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 2743622, member: 15309"]While you guys debate the minutia of the appearance of online photos, you miss the bigger picture that many of the coins offered by this seller are not what he claims they are and he uses deceptive photography to boost his sales. All you have to do is review his feedback and understand that feedback % is meaningless, especially for high volume sellers. If you were considering bidding on that 1903 Morgan Proof and you reviewed his feedback you would see that the same coin was sold in January 2017 and returned because: "Coin is fraud, cannot be graded by PCGS, do not buy raw coins, doctored photo" The person who bought the coin has only 4 feedback and was lured by the prospect of making some easy money by buying a valuable raw rare coin at a bargain price based on deceptive photos. Now I don't know what the buyer means by "cannot be graded by PCGS" but it doesn't sound like a net grade, rather it sounds like PCGS can't verify the authenticity of the coin. Now of course this one coin doesn't condemn his entire inventory but it raises doubts about the trustworthiness of the dealer which is all the reason I need to avoid his coins all together.[/QUOTE]
