Lee Harvey Oswald is shown with a rifle in the backyard of an apartment in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas in 1963.
Oswald spent almost 18 years in the coffin before a bizarre set of circumstances led to his exhumation.
Oswald's widow, Marina, got into a bitter argument with his brother Robert. Marina heard rumors that the man buried in the coffin was in fact a Russian Oswald look-alike. She wanted to put it to the test.
Marina managed to get the body exhumed. Dental records proved that the corpse inside was indeed that of Oswald. The suspected assassin was then reburied in a new casket.
Oswald was arrested on Nov. 22, 1963, and was widely believed to have shot Kennedy from the roof of the Texas School Book Depository in Dallas. He had previously served in the U.S. Marines and lived and worked in the Soviet Union, according to the Biography Channel.
Oswald was killed two days after the assassination by nightclub owner Jack Ruby.
Allen Baumgardner, a funeral director who assisted at Oswald's original embalming, is selling the coffin. Baumgardner did not immediately respond to a call from AOL News seeking comment.
