This is the last of the comical coins pulled from the last purchase. It was in a Lincoln Penny Book so I believe it was being used as filler. It's a joke. It's a real 1909 with a few changes. The S looks like it was shaped by digging out or applied. The VDB looks like it was gouged into the coin with a nail. Very convincing.....NOT.

That was actually quite funny! Thanks for sharing!

Also, am I the only one who think the S looks more like an 8?
