We were only talking about the 1916 Mule half a few weeks ago in relation to fake 1923 halves,only a matter of time before someone started flogging fakes.

The pictures are just as blurred.
Same type of crafty wording.
"Modus operandi"

Needs to be shut down.

Of course this coin is genuine!/ sarc.
The noble seller was very blessed to get both a 1923 halfpenny and a 1916 mule from the same lot, why do you doubt him?
Can we even find out who the bidiot was who got fleeced? Noticed the bidders identies remain "private".
There may not even be a real buyer, a good scam artist may be engaging in some insurance fraud (have your partner sell some mythical high value coins to you, you then have proof of purchase and then after you get them added to your insurance policy you have a break in and make your claim).

Well,
As I was checking over and over this coin, convinced it was fake(but covering all aspects, as a real 1930 penny was unearthed this year,Yes a real one)
I contacted his only disatisfyied customer, and was told he shows photo's of coins, but wont receive what is showen on listing.
I'm thinking he had a 1916 half, and the Indian coin.
He was trying to make out that he didn't realize what he had(playing reverse psychology, letting people think he was clueless) I'm interested to see the follow up, I'd be gutted if by 0.000001% it turns out to be real.

Point is , why advertise both at once? not that smart!
red lights straight away.
