Does this Morgan look like the cheek has been "worked on" in photoshop?

Found this on the bay and the cheek seems to have been touched up in photoshop to me. Notice the unatural gray area on the cheek. Could be just the way it turned out from a scanner I guess??

    it looks to me like it's been played with either via putty or Photochop. Look at the lay of the shading....there should be a darker area where the device meets the field if it were a shadow.

    Thanks Fletcher, that settles it. Another scammer on ebay, here is a Link to the auction for those who may wish to avoid his auctions.

    Sent to the seller:

    Dear seller, it appears that you have edited/altered the image of this and some of your other coin listings. While that might lead to higher prices in the short run, you will eventually end up with unhappy buyers and a bad reputation on Ebay for that. In fact, your listings are currently being discussed in a negative light on a widely followed coin forum internet site.

    Are you sure it isn't five o'clock shadow?

    Those are very serious accusations, and unless you had the actual coin in hand, you could be opening yourself up
    to a charge of defamation. Just a word to the wise.
