Dishonest seller buys morgans, cracks them out, and advertises them coming from a hoard.

I follow some of the raw Morgan auctions on eBay. Came across this.

Seller buys it in a rattler here

and after cracking it out of the holder, begins marketing it as a DMPL here.

Oh, all of his "DMPL" listings are this way. Don't get caught up.

I know these types of scams are all over the place on eBay, but what the
hey, just wanted to put it out there.

A raw coin is a raw coin, whether it used to be in a slab or not, it
must stand on its own merits.

There ARE DMPL coins in PL slabs....and there are coins that are
barely PL in DMPL slabs.

With the poor photos in the second auction, how can you tell it's the
same coin as the first auction? I tried to clean up the images but
couldn't tell one way or the other.
