I would say this is fake due solely to the look of the "s" and the placement. As well as there are so many of these online that are 100% identical.
I've been collecting for a couple years... Favorite Coin's are Standing Liberty quarters, Working on my type set | Coffee, Corvettes, Coins & the CCF what could be better? |

Yep, your right to ask us for authenticity here, and I will gladly say that this is such an obvious Chinese fake, since there are no known off-center strikes for this date/mintmark. The quality when compared to the genuine real deal is quite different.  on this one   from all of us here! |

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.
