@jhillx1, having separate thread to discuss separate coins is the best way to post here, but it is confusing when you upload the same pics to all of them. Any chance of you deleting the irrelevant pics from this thread? I think that the two that are of the alleged '09 S VDB are pictures #1 and #6. Thx!

I'm not exactly sure, but it looks suspicious though.
Errers and Varietys.

It is fake and here is why. There are only 4 known die pairs with mint marks in exact locations. Yours may look similar to #3 in placement, but it is a bit off and NOT SLANTED.   |

I agree it is a fake. So is the 1877 you posted a few pics of here.

The pics seem to be completely out of whack now. I don't even see one of the date...  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020
In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024

I agree that both of them are fake. It looks pretty obvious too, especially on the Wheat cent. Errers and Varietys.

The indian head 1877 is fake without a doubt. Wheat pennies didnt come out of the mints until 1909. The pics dont show a date on the other penny. Hard to say what it is.

The denticles are the clue on the 1877. Note how clear the devices look. You can even note a weak letter 'L' for the designer's initials. But being weak, when it should be strong is a sign of a fake. Little things are was you look for on a fake. They intend to sell it to a rube. Sometimes it works for them. With the denticles weak was what I needed to see. They should be strong.
