This guy has been selling buffed up Morgans as "DMPL" for a long time. Looks like he has graduated to an even more blatant scam.

read his 25 negatives. Definately a scammer.

low bidders didnt get coins; they were stolen, so $ was refunded.

not even a GOOD liar.

how do you filter the neg/neut's?

I emailed the seller. He has indicated that even though he disagrees with my opinion regarding the coin's having been cleaned or polished, he will change the "Branch Mint Proof" bologna (bologna being my word, not his). You can bet I will check back in on his listing.

Edited to add: He did edit his listing.

It's a independent tool. Here's the link. I have it bookmarked for feedback research.

That site is independant of eBay. Just bookmark it, and when you want to check up on an eBayer, paste their user ID in the box.

I like the way he has photographed the coin sitting on a brightly colored background. No doubt in my mind that the appearance of toning is nothing more than reflection.

Maybe he thought that since today's proofs have an S mint mark, they were all that way back through U.S. Mint history.

richbeat · August 8, 2004 5:53AM

Well, he made a change, but it still says "branch mint proof" when I pull it up.

Was this the addition?

On Aug-08-04 at 13:27:59 PDT, seller added the following information:

I STAND CORRECTED. WAYNE MILLER SAID THE 78-S HE POSSESSED WAS THE FINEST OF ALL DMPL'S HE HAD EVER SEEN. THE COIN IS AN AWESOME DMPL. THANKS. GARY

I dont think that's what you had in mind for him to change.....
