Lol, is that the "dawn of the dead" commemorative coin?

Oops, I didn't see what I thought I saw. What's up with this coin?

What am I missing, here?

(Ah, now K6AZ edits, which means I didn't see what he thought he saw but didn't see. Or maybe I did.)

You can buy it here

I love sellers with absolute rules like this:

Sorry, NO bidders with NEGATIVE feedback within the last 6 months

You make 100 good transactions, and unfortunately buy one poe58ish coin which you neg (or should neg), and get retaliation, so you can't bid?

Whatever.

In 1840 the Mint Director Robert Patterson had Robert Hughes modify Gobrecht;s original Seated Liberty design. Hughes added bulkier clothing ("drapery") for Miss Liberty, fattened her arms, and carved off some of the rock she sits on. Perhaps someone was trying to make this coin look like the earlier "no drapery" variety?
