Agree with others that something doesn't look right. Maybe it's your lighting.
I know I wouldn't buy it the way it looks now unless I had some guarantees as to an extended return privilege.

The thing that looks weird to me is the eye. Something is not right with this one.

It is a 1909 VDB with a faked S.
The position of S is not in correct position.
VDB lacks clear dots between the letters.
It is A FAKE>

I took 2 more scans of the coin. I also weighed it and it weighs in at 3.0 grams. It was in my uncle's Whitman collection that has mostly all AU coins. I think he picked it up in the 1980's.   |

when the S is so close to the date, the S should be in immediate adjacent to the first 9. And the dots between VDB should be very clear.   |

wouldn't touch a raw 09s vdb. I would want something expensive like that slabbed

Or, as in this example, the top of the S is even with the bottom of the 9's but it is more to the left than mine is.  |

So what happens if I send it to PCGS and they find it is a fake? Do they slab it and mark it FAKE or what?

Hello poorman, the S in your coin is obviously above the red line in your picture. PCGS would not slab it if it is fake.
