There are three possibilities. The first is that the seller, as you suggested, was idiot enough to pull the item prior to sale as they didn't think the price was high enough. Note that the seller STILL has to pay Heritage the minimum fee for the sale, even though it wasn't sold. That's why I use the unlovely term idiot. Not only didn't they wait to get a better idea of the real selling price, but they still have to pay money.
Second, Heritage could have been informed by an educated specialist or knowledgeable collector familiar with the series that it is a counterfeit coin. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen on rare occasions.
Third, Heritage could have been informed that the coin had been stolen, or that there was some legal question as to ownership.
