NGC...Fake or mistake??

I recently purchased a 1941 D Mercury Dime in a NGC slab. After getting home and looking at the NGC database photos based on the Cert #, they have a different coin pictured than what’s in my slab. My 1st thought was that I had gotten a counterfeit coin. But the odd thing is after looking at NGCs photos more closely, it doesn’t even appear to be a 1941 coin in the slab. It looks more like a 1943 dated coin. Please take a look and let me know your thoughts. The coin I purchased is a golden toned color (1st two pictures). The coin from the NGC database is more of a blast white (last picture).

Your coin is not fake. It is a genuine example certified by NGC. It appears that the four coins on this invoice originally were slabbed in the wrong sequence. This was later corrected, but the old online images remain. Number 4872651-002 is correct for the 1941-D dime.
