THE *COLLECTOR-DEALER* INTERACTION posted by The Artist's Collection

As per your request:

 

Here is the dealer's coin image. Sometimes the file sized slab image is a bit too small to adequately judge its relative reliability.

The difference in the two images is astonding. I, IMHO, feel that the ~~ Dealer ~~ had way too much Photoshop training.

 

To add to this discussion on this particular coin; does any of the collectors reading this post feel ~~ doctored ~~ images are proper in doing business?

 

I may have missed it in the previous post but, was this a Raw coin or, one certified by one of the leading TPG services?

 

Best wishes and I hope you do not have too many of these negative adventures.

 

Semper Fi !

The photo in this post vs the one in the last was definitely manipulated to hide almost all of the contact marks on that coin. The image here fills in almost every mark on the coin except for the mark across the cheek and the color was toned down to give it an overall consistent color and look. I would be very upset if this was the coin picture that was displayed advertising this coin for sale. The other is a much more detailed and realistic photo.
