Looks as though the seller got a message from someone. The item was ended without a sale due to an error in the listing.

I had sent the seller a message asking if he didn't think he ought to mention to his bidders that those are 1992 columbians not 1893

There were several of us that sent messages. This seller was actively, and deliberately engaging in fraud - and he knew he got caught. Ambiguous and misleading listings leave a real sour taste in my mouth - far more so than ignorant sellers who misidentify an item.

In the future, I strongly encourage all of you to message sellers like this and let them know they are on the radar of communities like SCF and Stamp Smarter or they will continue on with their activities uncontested.

Score one for the good guys!

He's relisted the 1992 Columbians, identifying them as such.
