SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 01/08/2013 08:36 am Hi kijiji2012, I'm pretty sure it's a fake. The VDB on the reverse doesn't look right to me also the 'S' mint mark. Bigger pictures would help especially on the two things I mentioned. Report this Post to the Staff
kijiji2012 Valued Member Canada 54 Posts	Posted 01/08/2013 08:57 am i will try to get a better pic , but its all so small, and thats as much zoom as I have, my scale say 3.2 gram, so I am not sure as my scales dont read more 0.0, I may need to find a set of 0.00? Report this Post to the Staff
cwb1877 Pillar of the Community United States 1659 Posts	Posted 01/08/2013 09:53 am It's a fake. The poorly formed S is a dead giveaway. It looks nothing like what the S looks like on authentic examples. Here is a link regarding 1909-S VDB authentication: http://www.pcgs.com/News/Counterfei...incoln-Cents Report this Post to the Staff

HelzelsCoins Valued Member United States 419 Posts	Posted 01/08/2013 2:41 pm Sorry, its 100% fake... the "S" is way off, and the coin looks like it was made from sandblasted dies. Report this Post to the Staff
Foxwoods Man Pillar of the Community United States 4901 Posts	Posted 01/08/2013 2:46 pm The cent is real....the MM/vdb is the issue Report this Post to the Staff
Fatman Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 01/08/2013 2:48 pm Amen to that jbuck! THANK YOU THANK YOU for this posting, a rather devious person in this town has been trying to get me to buy "his" 09-s VDB for months now. My gut has told me to avoid that coin like the plague, but always with a lot of doubt. Now after seeing the authentic/fake coins and what to exactly look for, it's a fake. Everybody go get a glass of water, on me! Report this Post to the Staff
kijiji2012 Valued Member Canada 54 Posts	Posted 01/08/2013 3:01 pm foxwoods men thank you, so it real?, the mm/vdb, what does that mean? and is there any book value? Report this Post to the Staff
barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5849 Posts	Posted 01/08/2013 3:15 pm Thank you very much for that link, cwb8539! I now feel much better about the authenticity of my own 1909SVDB. Oh -- and kijiji2012... I think foxwoods was just saying the penny itself is a real penny, but the mint mark and the "VDB" on the back are fake.
