Your coin is a fake. You can't site Etsy as a reliable source. People can ask anything they want, but it doesn't mean its a indicator of its true value. Check ebay's SOLD listings for a better source.   to the CCF!  |

Yeah, Etsy is very unreliable when it comes to coins, but I have seen exceptions, so extreme discretion is useful when this site is browsed. |

Etsy is is the same category as UTube... you are better off just staying away from the junk there, and just stick to the CCF and it's wealth of knowledge and education.

For 1909 VDB Chinese fake, the way to point it is the wheat and also the VDB. The S is more or less an marker, it is but must be a real focus on. I will repeat to day the photo for VDB (left is replica and Right is the genuine)  |

It was good to come here to ask about this coin. I have never seen a authentic off center '09-s VDB.

Definitely fake, don't even need to look at the MM, those plum Wheats on the stalks stand out like a soar thumb.and as mentioned, it is a pretty bad fake too.  |

Well known fake. Just saw one of these counterfeit off-center 1909-S LWCs posted on reddit like a week ago. Mint mark placement and size/shape is a dead giveaway, as is the shape of the date. Really the whole thing, in fact. It's quite a poor fake.
