$1320 purchase price and he wants multiples of that now? Crazy.
Juiced coin is fugly. HA pic is a bit dark. I'd bet it looks a bit better in hand than the HA pics. Nice coin. Not 6.5k nice though.
Not a coin I would have any interest in, especially at an inflated price.
Add, purchased at $1300 in Sept. now asking $6500.. that's downright greedy.

How did I know this would be about an UGLY Morgan?
This sellers photos are one of the most misleading photos Ive seen on ebay. i have watched his listings for quite some time-always "impressed" that his dmpl coins always look better and are significantly deeper than any other DCAM OR dmpl coins I ever see.
I always wondered how he is able to take such misleading photos and describe something as DMPL when pcgs and ngc who see it in hand dont even give it a PL designation. Here is one phenomenal dmpl looking coin that pcgs merely graded PL

Here's a fully natural looking coin.. How could someone seriously look at this and think, "I love it!!"
eBay 1890-CC
The label always tells the tale on juices toners or dmpls
Not a fan of this toning and way over priced.
Successful Trades: Swampboy,
wow, I wouldn't pay any premium for that let alone $1,300 let alone $6,500. What on earth
It tok lotta injun pennies ta dodat...
That's the type of speculation that is bad for the hobby. Of course well off people can pay whatever the want, but if they are looking for short term outsized profits there is something wrong.
Don't care for either photo of said coin.
How about this one @joebb21 same vendor

The vast majority of what is sold by him is just manipulated photography. Find me some dcam dmpls in real life that look like that and Id be a serious buyer

The eBay photos make this coin look AT to me. The Heritage photos are more convincing. I once had a raw 1897 dollar that looked like this on both sides. Silly me. I sold it.
Things like this are what gives the Hobby a bad name.
Even if I got "Juiced" I wouldn't buy those coins.

Both sets of pics do the coin no favors.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
The eBay seller wholesaledcmps does use some misleading photography, especially on his RAW coins. But given that he does have mostly no or litttle reserve auctions where you might get a good deal. And in those cases I think his pictures may limit the bidding rather than enhancing it.
OINK
I saw the coin in person and liked it, at least enough to bid $675. A bit more pop than the Heritage image suggests. No comment on the eBay images (and price).
Really?

Crooks. How do they not have more negative feedback?
Collector, occasional seller
I like coins that are a little (ok maybe a lot) less INSANE WOW INCREDIBLE so will pass on his offerings. Still befuddles me that folks pay up for them based on the photos. And always wonder how they avoid more negative feedback.

Look at the sellers pcgs label in the pics, it tells you that the pic is saturated a good 25%-35% more than how the pic was taken.
Sixty five hundred never looked sicker... I almost puked, but not from liquor!
That obverse is nearly terminally toned.
The only winners on this Morgan were the consignee & HA.
His photos aren't the issue as there's no elfin magic to his camera skills.
This is all post photo editing as he's deliberately pushing the saturation curve to the max.
