I just noticed this coin and the crazy price. When I clicked on it I noticed it had the Indian obverse and that's why. The fact it is a mule does not appear in the listing though. Is someone getting a bargain or getting screwed by a fake?

The pics are terrible & I would suggest that it's more likely someone got screwed.

From the evidence presented here, I would forced to agree with that.

Ok just how many 1916 mules are known to exist, 5, 10, 20 tops.

Given that info, even in the condition this coin is in, I'd expect it, if real, to go for 100 times the final price here.

Thus, IMHO it's fake, and so the buyer got Bender's aunt Rita.
She's a screw if you don't watch Futurerama.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that there are only 9 recorded examples of this coin.

Out of focus poorly lit images can hide a lot of evils.
