Probably dumb buyer in this case.
Seller is not a specialist coin seller he sells variety of items
Having said that his item description is wrong the coin is not gold but seller thinks it is

the coin that I reckon really looks like gold is the women's suffrage bi-metal coin (Australia first)
it never ceases to dazzle me with it's brilliance! and of course the complexity of the reverse design is outstanding - pity that old Marylee wasn't a bit of a better looker!! ha ha
