Two mis-attributions on the ‘Bay. It's amusingly ironic when a seller's pics are good enough to disprove their claims.
It's also a good excuse to post pictures of the varieties. Click the "normal" coin links to see the auctions.

When the pictures are good enough to make a reasonable grade assessment, I actually prefer the seller stays silent on the grade. Overly optimistic grading when the image proves otherwise makes me wonder about the ethics of the seller...

I didn't pay attention to their grades; neither of these coins are the scarcer varieties pictured above.
I did contact the seller of the "E/N" because there are a lot of markers on the obverse, and nothing matches up.
So far, no response.
