Beside the R in burfle23 informative article, E PLURIBUS UNUM appeared incuse on the second example, while the first example look raised like the genuine ones in PCGS site, that is some really scary good fake.

So guys I went and met this guy, he seems to be a counterfeit seller that acts like as if he's ignorant I took some photos with loop on the "R" and he told me he has two 1909 s Indian Head cents which I think are fake too. I'll add some photos. But the strange thing is that the size is smaller but the weight is correct. ?

Looks like a pretty exact match to the counterfeit marker in @burfle23's article. Not sure why the diameter and thickness aren't correct if it's truly silver.

Excellent work again Jack! 
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

The edges are too flat and smooth to be genuine, but match other known counterfeits. Images too low density but appear to show the one known edge attribution point of the counterfeits:

@burfle23. I can buy one for you and send it by mail or if someone is going to the states soon. Usually most of my family go to California and Washington, where are you located. For the payment we will find a way. He's saying that they've been with someone for 50 years !!!!!!!

@John1 I'm sorry but I wasn't trying to sell anything! I responded to @burfle23, was trying to do a favor. I don't own these and not tying to do any profit here. 🙏;;

Importing counterfeit coins into the US ( don't really care about the reason ). Way offside and illegal by the way !
