    I don't see any proofs listed in your link. ??
  • sorry meant prooflike
  • Holy cow!! How did they get them to look like that? Some are NTC slabbed too!?!?

    Yeah, I've seen these many times.
  • I assume you have held, and inspected, these coins yourself?

    Those Morgans are just dipped, and then photographed with an oblique lighting that accents the shininess of the fields to make them look PL. The fact that some of them are slabbed by Numistrust as DMPL only proves my point.

    We ARE watching you.

    Good! Less money to compete for coins that I am interested in! Prices are relative to what someone values the coin. If someone wants to empty the 401K for those chrome shined coins, more power to them.

    I clicked on one of his coins, and it's of an ANACS-graded Morgan... except the scan doesn't show the insert with the grade, and he doesn't state the grade in the description.

    Back in the Wild West days, this guy wouldn't have survived very long.
    When in doubt, don't.
  • Hey...Better proof-liking through higher chroming...imageimage
    What is money, in reality, but dirty pieces of paper and metal upon which privilege is stamped?
