Does this non-existent coin have an added mint mark?

A 1923-D Dime that sold immediately on the Bay. For some reason I do not like the D. Opinions?

😂 It’s either an added ‘D’ or the Rev image is an entirely different coin altogether.
The D looks a little nice for wear. But who couldn't pass up the elusive 1923 Denver edition for that price!
The seller shares the same reverse photo as with the 1923-"D" as he does with this 1936-D:

Maybe someone thought it was a contemporary Soviet counterfeit.
Yes I think it is a case of a seller mixing up their pictures and descriptions.
This is from the Official 1970 Black Book (7th Ed).
Bottom of page 103
This is a picture of one I found many years ago. My note indicate it weighs 2.4 gm and is a known Soviet Counterfeit. At the time I noted that it is very Rare with only about 50 known. This was many years ago and I do not recall the source of the “very Rare, 50 known information).
Sorry my photos are not the best. The coin is what I consider a crude counterfeit and the date and mint mark are clearer with coin in hand.
Edit: before posting this I consulted my copy of The Complete Guide to Mercury Dimes by Lange and this coin is mentioned and pictured (pg 61) in Chapter 4 (2nd Ed).
Agreed.
Think horses, not zebras.
Good catch!
I wonder what the buyer will receive?
I've always wanted to add one of the Soviet counterfeit 1923-D Mercury dimes to my collection. I've never seen on in hand.

I'm not sure but I think that the 1923T from Toledo may be NG.
