Look at the "deep jet black mirrors" on this Franklin. Notice anything weird?

Inverting the images really makes the alterations pop (not that its needed).

Same here, no reply as of yet.
Like the kids in my highschool that did stupid s*!t just to get in the police report in the local paper.
he left enough haze behind to know it has it. why go to so much other trouble?

Read his descriptions they are haze free. He actually praises how dark the fields are after photo-shopping them.
They are not painted. I use very little light and for regular Mint coins a photo studio, and I always showed the mirrors as dark. If you take a s****y picture, no one buys, but I was told you must touch up contrast and brightness, and that is all that is needed, and there are many on Ebay that do this.
Sounds like he's lying to me!

a bad editor AND a bad liar
"
Hello,
I do what others are doing on Ebay, and that is if you do not touch up contrast or brightness, your pictures when cpompressed twice, through original upload and upload to Ebay, your photos will be dark and lose detail. I am not the only one that does this for I can give you 5 Ebay top sellers who do this."
Yeah, right.
then crop the pictures tighter and make the background white.
as said: bad liar.

Me too. Let's write the seller a personal ad: "Idiot seeks same to buy my stuff on eBay."

His errors grow less and less obvious the more he lists. Practice, Practice, Practice......

Such a obvious mistake may be a downfall.
