I cannot believe his auction wasn't pulled again.

I have no hope of ever finding this coin over here in Oz, but thanks to this forum, if I ever do, I will be able to make an educated guess if it is genuine or not. Is there anything else I should look for other than the alignment of the mint mark and how 'open' the loops are on the 9s?

After seeing this happen So Many times I honestly can say I have no pity for the uninformed. I know I seem harsh but if someone is buying this to sell for a quick buck or as an investment it must be treated with the same diligence as everything else. You don't buy a house without checking the history and oh yeah.....Go Inside it First!

Sean--if you didn't see this diagram before, there were only 4 obverse dies used for the 1909-S VDB:  The S mintmark also has a very specific shape; I'll look for a diagnostic. Needless to say, that "S" above is laughably wrong.   |

OMG! $414?
My counterfeit looks good, I might try the same auction. LOL It's funny, the good counterfeits sell for pretty good money actually. I bought mine from a dealer, we both knew it was counterfeit....had a label on it: NOT FOR SALE! Well, that just tempted me! LOLOLOLOL I did have to pay 3 figures for it, but I had to have it...yea, one of those coins. I bugged him for MONTHS to sell it to me and he finally did.

And with so many uninformed people out there it could very well go up for sale again and bring that kind of money.

Quote:I thought the previous auction was pulled...but apparently it wasn't. It is still there. http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-s-vdb-alte...cmdZViewItem Interesting, that auction is actually more honest than the current one. Wonder if he's just got a stack of these things and is playing with the ads to get the best ratio of dollars to likelihood of being pulled. That is a decent-looking fake. What's the deal, mintmark cut off another coin and stuck on somehow? |

Are the bidders unaware that the auction is for a counterfeit 1909 S VDB or are they knowingly taking a chance that the coin may be genuine?
