    I think it should be very obvious that only the picture has been enhanced and not the coin.

    Saturation levels have been turned up to the max and who knows what else.

    Even the blue PCGS label shows color saturation enhancement.

    So many pixels were maimed and killed over this, sad.

    I think the buyer is going to be pleasantly surprised that the coin they get is not as hideous as the buyer seller made it look.

    That seller and a few others are known to do this on eBay. Most people I imagine know to skip over his listings (but a few are still fooled by it...eBay does usually makes it easy to return items, so most won’t be out much if they even bought coins like that).

    Another reason why I don't buy toned coins - too much deceit in that game.

    The Heritage image is a digital photograph - not a scan.
    The ebay "thing" has had contrast and saturation manipulated to deceive potential buyers.

    These days the juice is running at about 20%.

    The positive about this coin is that you still get a PCGS graded, beautiful toner. The seller's pics are juiced, but the original is still beautiful. Win-win.

    Yeah but what cost has added to the price. Oh yeah, it's an auction. Who knows. Peace Roy
