Looks similar to my coin, just a little more wear.

I would still be careful of that trust. Either because this seller can't tell a fake and sells lots of them. Or because if they really are crooked, then of course they would act surprised.

hindsight and foresight and not being the victim of the purchase, and all that advantage, I still gotta say, that coin doesn't look real to me at all.

I'm not too proud to admit that I would have been fooled as well. Good catch.

jhs - you're right about hindsight and maybe a little better knowledge of what to look for... I would say that coin looks fake to me too if I were to see it today :)

Just bought another 1909-S IHC.

This time, it's PCGS certified :)
