It looks genuine but the price is PCGS/NGC certified VF+ money for a coin that barely makes VF and is uncertified. Pass.

I agree, price seems a bit high for a F-15 coin.

Genuine or fake - it's way too much money for this coin anyway. I'd pass.

Pass. You can find nicer examples certified and probably cheaper with some patience

This coin appears to be authentic, but it is highly counterfeited usually by adding a mintmark to a 1909 IHC. I would like to see close ups to see shape of the mintmark and its location to be sure.

Therefore, I would pass on this coin for a number of reasons: overpriced, it is raw, and seller offers no returns.

I agree with all of the above and would add it looks like it's been cleaned a while back.

Price and grade aside, it's just not a very attractive looking coin.

Definitely looks a little cleaned, overgraded, and overpriced. Not sure why he's holding it with his fingers... quite unusual.
