Did you tell the seller he had a D mint? It could be a simple typo. Some dealers hire typists to post descriptions and the typist may know nothing about coins.
I think the date problem is likely caused by the shadow - however, I would ask for a picture of the coin taken OUTSIDE of the holder before I would bid. In a holder - especially an eccentric one - you really have no idea what you are bidding on.
Until I get to know a dealer I rarely attribute errors like this to intentional deception and in this case I have dealt with this guy and find him to be honest.
