1984 double die cent that the Cert Verification is for a 1972-D

Here is a link to a 1984 Lincoln cent that just seems wrong when you check at PCGS for the cert verifacation. serial number 02956.66/1233819 old rattler so the seller says!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/320831835886?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

The cert number comes up with a 1972-D cent coin code number 2956 value $50.00
an 1984 double die has a code of 3062 for a red coin. value $325.00

Can anyone come up with a explaination for this? or am I just looking at something wrong, although this is the first time that Cert Verification has come up with something different.
I did bid on it but that was when I thought is had a lower value as in a 72-D MS66RD before I checked the data closely, I expect to be out bid, since my bid was really kind of low for a Double Die.

Thanks for looking and posting something

    Could be a mechanical error, as has happpened with the rattler slab cert #'s in the rexent past. I cannot explain why seller choose to image in such a way. Sreller has sold all coins (from what I can see w/out going through pages and pages of FB), and has a 7 day return policy, I might try it if the price was short enough. I'm sure PCGS Cus Serv could verify whether the cxert # was 'doubled up'...used way back when, then used for the '72-D Washie. It's not uncommon. I've owned a few coins that have needed new holders with new certs, as have many others here.

    Though, it does look like Abe's got a booger flying out his nose.
    I'll come up with something.

    The more I look at the reverse, I notice what could be verdigris near 'ONE CENT' and the Memorial, and a few other spots????

    Well in just about 10 minutes I have been out bid by almost 100 bucks, Which is fine with me, since something doesn't seem right with this item

    Thats what happens here when a coin like this gets posted well before it closes.

    I don't want it anymore,
    I did notice the times and they did seem to add the bids right after I posted this thread.
    I now know how to get out of items I bid on with out doing my homework.
    Thanks for adding the link to it, I don't know how to do that.
