    That is debatable. The coin itself has been messed with or the pictures have been enhanced to show something it is not. If those pictures were accurate then yes, thats a DMPL.

    Heinous. The coin is polished and artificially frosted, and then there's the picture.

    The only thing that hasn't been messed with is the cardboard 2x2, which is wasted on that coin.

    The coin or the photo have been seriously messed with. The color on the Bust of Ms. Liberty is totally bogus, and mirrored fields are nothing like the real thing.

    I've never seen cameo like that on a mint-mark. :o

    A shame it's for sale as kosher. If not, it could easily be viewed as an incontrovertible branch mint spoof. :#

    There are a few of these guys where juiced pics and high return rates are a mainstay of their business.

    They try to nickel and dime me down on my graded PL's at shows, knowing where they are heading the discounts are over.

    Despite screwing people over one of these guys is almost broke, as he keeps getting screwed by on of the guys doing the screwing.

    Can you report obviously altered pictures? What they are doing is not good for the hobby.

    Reminds me of the "California Cameos" that were artificially frosted back in the (?) Late 70s/early 80s.
    My time frame might not be accurate....
