What are the odds?

That a posted 'buy it now' on a big auction site has a reverse photo mix up....
vs: our gracious host actually housing a "S" mint coin labeled in a "d" labeled holder?

I was thinking of purchasing the D minted coin and noticed this discrepency when studying the enlarged photos..
It would be a significient financial windfall if this was indeed an s mint coin mislabeled though I think it highly unlikely that this would slip by both the seller and our host...

Anyone ever pick up something this blatant?
Would this be considered a "cheery pick" or just outright crooked if I took a chance and bought this and it was an oversight by both parties?

    I would consider it the sellers responsibility to spot the issue if there is one.
    If you buy it you are doing nothing criminal.

    Thanks for offering your views Placid.
    I might just roll the dice and take a chance on it..
    If it's a "d" it's a nice upgrade for my set. If it's an "s" then that's a bonus!

    I once bought and still own a Pcgs coin that is labeled as a Philadelphia minted coin, but is actually a slightly more valuable Denver minted coin. It's not a super valuable coin, but is definately mis-labeled and got by Pcgs and the seller.
