No question, two different coins. MMs are in different positions and the dark spot to the right of the MM in image #2 is completely missing in image # 1. C'mon.  Edited by Coinfrog

Clearly different coins, since camera angle can't change the mint mark position. Quote:

Besides the mysteriously disappearing corrosion spots (below LIBERTY and to the right of the mysteriously moving mintmark), we've got mysteriously moving white flecks: there's one that moves from above the T in LIBERTY to inside the forks of the Y, and another on the date that moves from the top of the zero to the top of the second 9.
Sorry, but no, these are, 100%, two different coins.

folks, seriously, I only own one coin. the only other thing that could have happened is that PCGS returned the wrong coin. has anyone seen this before? how do I go about following up with PCGS? any recommendations?
it shocked me when the coin came back so I'm seriously confused

We can't really help in terms of interpreting what the differences mean for you, other than asserting the fact that the two images are indeed not the same coin.
You mention a possible mix-up at PCGS, but neither of these pictures are of a coin in a PCGS slab - did you send the coin in for grading, then bust the coin out of the slab again before taking the picture?
As for "where did the second coin come from", perhaps you own a regular 1909-S, as well as a 1909-S-VDB, and you've taken pictures of both of them? Someone more expert than me in the VDB variety might be able to tell which of these obverses "belongs with" the VDB.

ok guys I doubled checked everything and it look like I mislabeled the raw coin. Zurie called it, it was my 09S
sorry for the confusion but thanks for clarifying it

Glad you figured it out. Don't know your age, but if it was me we'd put it up to a senior moment.  |
