CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 09/22/2015 9:24 pm http://www.ebay.com/itm/1909-S-VDB-...em3d04155202 The mintmark just looks too large and the font of the date and boldness is off, even though the pics are blurry. $400 BIN is a pretty low BIN for a coin that was authentic with that much detail, not to mention the very vague title, and vague description. The description almost screams that the seller knows it's fake, considering he/she is mentioning "a real s vdb" and "has all the key factors". I mean, how many people with 1909 S VDB's that were authentic would even say that? Also, this one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1909-S-VDB-...em25ae0d88eb Mintmark is too close to date, and looks too small. I don't know what die this would match up to. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1909s-vdb-w...em419cf4ab56 Bad pictures, crude rim, most likely purchased from the no-no website.

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 09/23/2015 12:35 am That last one especially. How could anyone fall for that? Just one thing: Did anyone else notice that the blurry "RD" coin sold for $400? Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19958 Posts	Posted 09/24/2015 12:14 am I can tell just by the toning it's a chinese fake. The second one, very hard to tell, it might be genuine. The tilted photos suck. Third coin, obvious chinese fake. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Edited by BadThad 09/24/2015 12:15 am Report this Post to the Staff
