DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 10/24/2014 3:45 pm These two rather convincing fakes were documented in the latest issue of Longacre's Ledger--reposted here for educational purposes, credits to Rick Snow and Dan Templeton. Both the 1908-S and 1909-S use the same reverse and position of the "S". Since collectors are more wary of buying the 09-S raw, the 08-S might be a more dangerous one. There is a shared reverse marker to watch out for, but I think the tooled rims are more telling. Edited by DVCollector 10/24/2014 3:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
