Man, this seller gave Lady Liberty a great face-lift. She looks 100 years younger in his pictures! He should stop selling coins and get into the glamour shot business.

I think that guy should be locked up for fraud. I'd be pissed off if I bought one of those coins. Thanks for sharing and have a Great Day.

I have bought from the same dealer and know exactly what you're talking about. Not anymore! Good video Daniel!!

I bought one coin from MorganDealer in 2023. The coin was falsely advertised through deliberate smudging and blurring of defects. I kept it as a lesson to myself to never buy Morgans on eBay again. I use Photoshop professionally and, like you, i can replicate MorganDealer's phony-photo manipulation techniques. Thank you, Daniel, for getting the word out.

Total scam! Instant refund! The seller has big walnuts for scamming his customers. Dang it!

Can you imagine how much money Morgan Dealer has made over the years via misleading photography? I'm glad to have gotten educated before falling prey to this seller, amongst others. Thank you, David.

Littleton would want 150$ for those Morgan's

I really appreciate this! I still haven't bought from eBay, yet. But when I do I'm not purchasing anything from this guy. You are really helping the hobby and saving people a lot of heartache and trouble! I appreciate everything you do bud!

Those coins are cleaned to within an inch of their lives. Very excellent fact finding video. Much appreciated.

I've ordered from them and they are never as pictured

Yup. I've learned my lesson when I was a rookie buyer. The picture looks good but what you get is a different story

When you scroll through the Morgans on eBay, his images stand out like a sore thumb. Seems like people would just avoid his coins because the manipulation is so obvious, but every coin sells. Sad.

I saw those listings and thought "oh hell no". Thanks for satisfying my morbid curiosity

When I first started buying coins from Ebay, I bought a few coins from this seller. I found the same thing to be true about his coins. Several years back he was selling coins that had no mentioned of being cleaned but obviously were. Later he added to the description that some coins may have been cleaned. I stopped buying from the seller and kept the few I bought just for their silver content.

I had just won an auction from Morgan Dealer when I saw this video and sure enough when the coin came today, it does not look like what it looked like in the listing photos! I spent nearly $400 on an 1884 CC. He listed it as PL and MS+++. Completely misleading! Thank you for the information! I will report to eBay and complain to FTC.

My favorite ever. “They offer $$ back guarantee. That’s not what I’m here for, I’m not interested in that”. Awesome Sir. Thank you as always for what you do

That first image of the Morgan obverse reminded me of Barbara Stanwyck in the "Big Valley" TV series. She was a great beauty in early movies, and was still quite attractive in her 50s on the TV series, but she was showing her age a bit. So when the camera was on her, they would use bright and diffuse lighting, and maybe they put Vaseline on the camera lens. Then when the camera switched to one of the men, the lighting would be harsh and you could see the guy's pores and 5 o'clock shadow. I guess the same principle was used when photographing this coin. But still: let the buyer beware. If a coin looks MS67+ in an image, ain't NOBODY going to sell that coin raw.

Fraud is fraud .great video

Thank you Daniel another excellent video I appreciate your efforts to educate others and improve the hobby in general!

Awesome video. Great information. Thank you again for doing this.

Oh Daniel, you are a good coin guy. Thanks again.

Excellent presentation Daniel! Thank you very much for sharing. As far as I'm concerned this particular seller is ripping people off on purpose.

Keep these educational vids coming. They help a lot of people and save them the money and headache of getting taken by these scammers.

At 3:19 I would say it's not even the same coin. In the photo it has staining over U in UNUM but not in your sample. Different scratch mark patterns, too.

I've been seeing those altered Morgans on ebay for a while. They stick out like a sore thumb and I scroll right past them!

Listings like that are the reason I will NEVER buy a coin from a photo.

Online you win some you lose some. I rolled the dice and bought a 1938 proof. And a 1940 proof nickel for $40 each last week and they were absolute gems

I've sold coins on the flebay for over a decade. I've never manipulate my images for anything I've sold. It's just not worth the trouble of returns. Good pictures also protect the seller to prove any issues a buyer may raise, are existing. What this seller is doing is despicable, and possibly criminal. Everyone with an eBay account should report this seller. This seller has over 1300 listings and every single listing I've seen is manipulated in the same way. I've reported a dozen listings. Only 1290 to go... Everyone watching this video should report all listings with manipulated images. A return policy does not negate the need for accurate listings. It certainly does not remove liability from fraudulently presenting an item through manipulation of the images.

Big like number 659! Excellent information and thank you so much for sharing! Fabulously done

Your videos are always helpful and informative. Thank you

I buy a lot of Morgans from eBay. I learned right from the beginning to ignore any Morgan Dealer listings. Every coin looks unnatural, like they've been tooled to begin with. Based on your video, the actual coins you purchased look better than the fake polished photos. I'm amazed at the number of people who get defrauded by that seller. The seller readily allows returns to avoid negative comments. It's a numbers game. Most people won't bother to return, or complain if they get their money back.

Thank you for posting this. I really hope this seller loses sales from this video. They are definitely not going to stop doing this since they have been doing it for years. This is the reason why I don't buy coins off Ebay. I will only buy from reputable brick and mortar dealers.

Thank you so much for posting this. I was ripped off one time on high bid auctions by a seller who used fraudulent pictures and fraudulent/missleading descriptions. Never again. I've looked at the same evay seller and decided not to buy due to doctored photos

I see them all the time on ebay, you can tell they are fixed up, thanks for the video Dan. what a scam job. shame on the seller.

For decades fast food has given us commercials of food that never looks exactly like the food we receive. We should all sue for deceptive images!

The answer to "why mess with the images" is obvious. Money. Anyone that has handled silver dollars would know immediately the images are doctored. I won't buy coins with images that are tilted/angled either. It's more important that the text in the advertisement is mostly correct. This boils down to: does ebay allow photo manipulation and misrepresentation of appearance. This seller obviously believes in the PT Barnum adage.

I remember buying a coin off Ebay and the picture looked like that, But when i received the coin i was surprised to find it much better than the picture, clearly he didn't know what he was doing and I bough it because it was a key date and was well under priced for what it was.....I got lucky most buyers don't

Great educational video; thanks for sharing this information.

great video daniel, you should let us know if this company contacts you about this video. It would be interesting to hear thier take. thanks

Good for you for calling this seller out. I hope they'll be turned on to your video. People that lack integrity make me lose hope in humanity.

People can sell coins honestly, borderline or be blatantly dishonest. Using the "same person" excuse on a dating app where your muscles and chin line are photo shopped would certainly be noticed in person and these coin sellers are no different. Dishonest because the manipulation of images if clearly purposeful. What absolutely blows my mind is the seller calling the second coin "AU". They move Morgans in tonnage and they seriously believe this is AU?? No way in heck. Thank you for posting this and keep calling these guys out, Daniel!

Thanks Daniel! Another great video!

Wow Daniel...some real shady stuff going on there. I'm so thankful and grateful for your time and effort on this video. Great educational stuff here. It's just so unnecessary. It happens. And clearly it happens more than we know. Thanks again.

This was a good video. I hope tons of people watch it and learn from it and report that Ebay seller. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍

My first thought was why would your customer want to buy $40 raw common date Au Morgan’s that say cleaned in the title ? I think it was a great idea for you to do this for a video for everyone and I appreciate that Another point id like to make is that many of these high volume sellers hide behind a 100 percent free return policy and just bank on the fact that 3/4 of people won’t utilize that so it’s a numbers game. Even when they do get negative feedback they’re able to have eBay take it down for them so their 98%-99.9% seller ratings are very misleading

As someone who does photoshop and illustrator a lot I could already tell in half a second that the photo in the ebay listing was badly altered. I get suspicious of ebay coins in general. Not something I would take a risk on. I'd rather see it in person before I consider buying it.

This eBay coin dealer has been well known to Reddit communities like r/numismatics and r/coins for a long time. EBay turns a deaf ear to this fraud because they still make their commissions on the sales that aren't returned by savvy buyers. This Cellar needs more exposure like this this to educate the public. Good job Daniel!

I must be doing something wrong on my eBay, guess i need Photo shop 101 LOL!!! Seems to make more work then a good photo

Thank you, Daniel, for outing this scammer.

Great info Daniel!

Thanks for doing this video, I bought a few from morgan dealer and all of them had altered photos… I only paid a bit over 50 bucks for the coins so lesson learned, I still have silver but not the coins pictured

I really appreciate you sharing this, Daniel! 👍

Thanks Daniel, always great info here.

Daniel, I've seen those too on ebay but it look too nice to be true. Great Video!

Thanks for the excellent coin lesson. Crazy how people can do this to people. Keep up the good work.

Hey good for you and us as well. For doing this and informing people. I just had to send back some coins for that reason. The Add being misleading. And getting the items it’s completely obvious what had happened. I say thank you for sharing the information

Thank you Sir. I ironically was looking at the photos from that same person tonight. It seemed as a altered image in the photo. I'm watching the sales on the 1880. But, I had a major problem when I saw it. Too much luster and shine. Wild how this video came up when I was looking at them prior to seeing this. Algorithm FTW!

Well shit. Wish I had seen this vid a week ago. Just won several auctions for what I thought were great coins. We’ll see when they show up. Thank you for the heads up!

I almost purchased some of their coins but was glad I read their feedback first

Really a lesson I learned years ago, if I don’t see it in person, I only by graded. At least there is some protection.

And Ebay gives him a "Top Rated Plus" designation! Geeze

Everyone should buy one and then return it, just to stick it to the seller. 😊

Good video . I wish everyone one took detailed pictures of there coins . I buy a lot coins and it's a crap shoot . Thx Daniel appreciate you . Anyway you could do video on the new pennies 2004 2006 2015 . There alot on them but none really show what to look for .

You and I have discussed this before, but neither you nor I would ever buy a coin from a seller who posted images like that. He made that thing look like one of the modern Morgans. People need to learn that well before the Internet and digital photography, Miss November didn't even really look IRL like Miss November in the porn mags... Used car dealers used to put sawdust in worn out transmissions to muffle the noise for awhile, and they still use bondo to fill rust holes and then paint them over, which bubbles up and falls off six months later. Buyers need to be educated to recognize this obvious fraud. You're doing a good thing to help with that.

Wow! That's a big difference in quality. I'm not just a coin collector since I was 9-10 (and I'm 76)... it I've been a photographer since then also. I can say I honestly believe the seller had somebody sllightly Blur the surface to make it appear clean and smooth in Photoshop. Total manipulation. Also...China has been reproducing American coins that ARE sold as replicas really cheap. A couple bucks. Look very real! I would not be surprised if the con artists are having Chinese coin replica manufacturers making them illegally for underground dealers who con amateur collectors. Just for the heck of it I bought a couple. And they look and weigh the same as the real coins. Unreal. I bought a few out of curiosity legally and I was impressed.

Thanks for making a video like this people need to know

Hi Daniel, I subscribed to your channel and watched all your videos. I bought quite a few Morgan Silver Dollar Coins from Morgan Dealer on ebay, I was not paying attention then to the detailed authencity of those items I bought, except just look at it and make sure it is the same coin upon receiving it. I did not scrutinized the full detail then, and just now I realized that you made your point. Photos on ebay when items are on sale were manipulated, I received the same coin as described and some of them were not near to the quality as to the photo shown on ebay when it was on sale. Any legal actions you might or anyone you will be known to file a lawsuit against this Dealer as to the misleading photos, count me in and I would like to join the band. Thanks, and have a great day and a great year ahead!

When reporting sellers like this, would you or have you included links to your videos, like this one, in the report, as supporting proof of accusations? Thanks for sharing videos like this. These fraudsters need to be stopped, at least banned from big sites like eBay. Of course, people need to do some due diligence prior to purchasing. Aloha

Great video, Daniel. I'm amazed what efforts you put into making these information videos to educate everyone on how people will go to any lengths to scam you out of your money. Thanks again, Daniel, for all you do for the hobby, and have a great day.

Daniel your honesty make u real thanks for being u❤🎉

Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍

Great info! thkU!

Maybe there needs to be a class action lawsuit against the sellers and ebay for letting this fraudulent practice to go on!

Great Video! Brings real attention to the Company in China! Ripoff Company! Ron

still good info thanks

Thank you for this Daniel. I have recently started (carefully) with numismatics, evolving from just stacking and awareness videos like yours are invaluable. 👍 . EBay remains a minefield for all of us.

I always feel best dealing with reputable dealers, yourself included. Trust is earned. Everyone really needs to be careful!

It's a shame that some resort to manipulation of images. The fact that he gives a money back guarantee means nothing. Some, even though not satisfied, wouldn't send them back because of the hassle.

I live in Florida. I bought just over $200 in silver to avoid paying shipping. I bought generic silver rounds for $25.11 and American Silver Eagles for $27.11. Did I get a good buy? How about if I tell you after sales tax, the round cost $26.87 and there is NO SALES TAX on the Eagles. So for $0.24 more I could have had a sovereign coin over a generic round.

Most of my Morgan dollars are from here. I'm just glad they're always real silver at this point. I'm done collecting after today. Im fed up with Coin dealers. I'm about done with this world. Might move to the hills and grow some potatoes... Cheers, always enjoyed your videos

I bought my first Morgan online from that dealer…. Same thing, when I was bidding on my phone, didn’t notice the photoshop. My 1890 Image was blurred and hair was darker/emphasized.

I pretty much bought 2 coins from this seller the same day you made this video. I asked my brother if he ever heard of this guy and he hadn't heard of him. My brother has been a collector for over 40 years, my dad had a coin shop almost 50 years ago so i guess it kinda runs in the family. Ive done minimal collecting in my time, I've been a sports card collector . I guess I didn't spend that much money on the coins I purchased but now I can get rid of another 30 coins I'm watching on eBay because of this. I think that there might be a couple of other sellers doing the same thing on eBay.

Over the years I have noticed a dealer selling coins using this type of picture. They are obviously manipulated. I have been using photo shop for over 20 years in a part time job that I have. They are definitely not using the blur tool. It would take forever. What they are using is a filter. Most likely using the photo shop "dust and scratches". Filters/noise/dust and scratches. I tried it and it works.

It's hard to believe that after looking at those doctored up photos why anyone would buy from this seller

The ebay listing photo on the first Morgan looks so bogus I would have figured it was a fake.

Unfortunately he must take advantage of people that don't know what a Morgan Dollar looks like,his images are beyond ridiculous and the color alone is just disreputable to what a true morgan dollar looks like,great video and information.

Bro I see these all day long from him. I was just a few days ago showing my buddy; it's kinda wild you did a video on it. Wonder if this dude even knows yet

Wow! I never even thought that someone would do any editing on photos of their coins. That's awful!

This reminds me of my my first wife. She was beautiful, I married her, got her on the honeymoon and when she woke up the first day without makeup I had to ask, "Who are you? What happened to the girl I married?" Photo editing is a lot like makeup.

Wow Cool video Talk about bait and switch...

I learn from you every time I see yer video . These coins were a Rip- Off fer sure . They just didn't look right at all ( too good ) . Best too go to a dealer and see fer yer self just what yer buying . It's a bloody shame people do this . If and when I order coins I get them from JM Bullion , or 1/ 2 others I've bought from before . Thanks again for the great info . Tom Daytona Beach , FL. 1, March 2024 .

I don't buy any coins from online period. A reliable coin dealer in person is the best

When I order from Ebay I sometimes find that I get ripped off with shipping fees. You buy a coin at what seems to be a reasonable price, then you forgot to look at the shipping costs....woops.

FTC Federal Trade Commission. Call your US Representative's office and ask them to assist you in contacting the FTC. Don't expect them to do all the work. They have much more to do than babysit people who jumped into collecting coins without the proper caution.

This seller has many items online. I've never purchased from them because I knew 1st time I saw his listings that they was photo manipulation. It's so horrible that they do this! Potentially new collectors will be disappointed by these type of sellers and gives the hobby a very bad look. Auction kings/Toliver James are even WORSE of photo manipulation. Thanks for exposing them.

I've been ripped off by EBAY sellers of coins enough I will NEVER by from any of them.

Just looked. He's doing the same this still. I made a mistake and bought a couple from MorganDealer. Never again. There's another M______ named dealer that was doing the same thing. Got a coin album from him and the whole front cover had pulled away from the pages. Of course that picture wasn't included in the listing. I'm sure it was not included on purpose. Returned it.. Thanks for the video. Wish I had seen this a while ago

Class action

Pretty easy to tell how he did it as you cartwheel the coin and the automatic EV compensation goes up and down on the video. It's not easy getting a good picture of something like this, and is very similar to taking good pictures of jewelry to sell online. Still not an excuse.
