Unbelievable, looks like someone made a huge profit!

I was looking through my latest edition of Coin News magazine and noticed some auction highlights.
London Coins auction had a picture and description of South Africa Sixpence 1928 with a price realised of £5000. Then I flipped back two pages as I thought I saw another similar coin on Heritage's South Africa Specimen Sixpence 1928 (looked to be slabbed by NGC) price realised US$155,250!!!

Looked at their websites:

London Coins (lot 126)

and NGC:

Heritage:

Although the Heritage picture has been taken with more lighting, I'm pretty sure its the same coin. Especially if you look at the toning and breaks in the toning.
