Neo13x Pillar of the Community United States 604 Posts	Posted 11/06/2014 1:40 pm You didnt say much on what makes you think it is a fake but if I'm on the same page its beacuase the MM doesn't show the same wear pattern as the date and the rest of the coin or am I missing something?

Historyfan Valued Member United States 88 Posts	Posted 11/06/2014 1:50 pm Yes, that is what I am basing it on. I've done extensive research on this in the past, and many of the known fakes that I have seen look exactly like this one. It just looks too obvious to me. Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 11/06/2014 2:58 pm Yeah, and it's hard to get a good look at the "s" to see if it's legit or not. Pass. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 11/06/2014 5:01 pm I wouldn't touch that with a 100 foot pole. Blurry pictures, no returns. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
srcliff Valued Member United States 453 Posts	Posted 11/06/2014 5:17 pm Was this faked from scratch or was the s added somehow to a legit coin? This is why I have yet to buy from ebay! I am still a babe in the woods. Report this Post to the Staff
Tim Stroud Pillar of the Community United States 2661 Posts	Posted 11/06/2014 5:29 pm The discoloration around the MM indicates the possibility of it being soldered on. Report this Post to the Staff
Copper Penny Connection Valued Member United States 415 Posts	Posted 11/06/2014 5:51 pm Looks like a real 1909 VDB but with an oldschool tool and die job. Mintmark added from the rim. But this is a really crap job. Prob the tool guys first attempt. You can see evidence on both sides of coin Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 11/06/2014 5:55 pm The fact that there's a reserve really takes the cake. Report this Post to the Staff
jpsned Pillar of the Community United States 2202 Posts	Posted 11/08/2014 5:36 pm Man, that "S" is so high above the rest of the coin, you could scratch your back with it. Report this Post to the Staff
