I'm stumped on this one

Can somebody tell me what it is this guy is selling?

Uhh, is this a trick question? Looks like a worn 1867 Shield Nickel to me.

 

Looks to me that he messed up in his picture uploading, and he accidentally uploaded a liberty nickel reverse, in addition to the shield nickel he was actually selling.

 

Appears to be a Shield Nickel front with a Liberty Head 1883-1912 reverse! I think the person got their pictures mixed up when they posted.
:rolling:

 

Well, just for kicks, I sent him this through the site's "Ask the Seller" function:

Betcha he changes the picture.

BTW did anyone else notice the huge grading difference between his two coins?

 

Here's the reply I got quite quickly:

In other words, mistakes happen without necessarily being the result of either dishonesty or other misconduct.

 

That mule won't plow!

 

cute!

 

AHHHHH, to bad that would have been a great coin if it was as shown.

 

It would have been quite obvious if it had been a mule though since the shield and V nickels are different sizes. The shield side would have had an unusually broad rim.
