Check the sellers other listings--accurate, or equally off-base?

This looks like an honest typo from an authorized dealer.

A 1938 S nickel is worth that much.

It's not silver and it's not a Washington quarter.
Wrong coin pictured.

I messaged the guy from this listing telling (informing) him of his listing errors - he wrote back thanking me for the correct information and took down the listing..

His 1926 Australian sixpence is actually not bad value at $5 for a .925 silver coin, but even from these appalling photos I wouldn't describe the coin as Uncirculated!

No worries Tony, I can't think of how many times I did just the same thing - just to come back and re-tract my statements.
