The pictures are reversed, so I had to take my laptop and completely do a 180* to see it. Obverse is completely wrong, date is wrong, and even though the mintmark is blurry, it's also wrong.

When you say the obverse, date and mintmark all are "wrong," what do you mean?

Sorry if I didn't clarify myself initially. I'm known to do that.

It looks like a 1909 "D" to my eyes...

2 Negs in 16 sales? I don't think so.

Whenever I post coins for sale I remark how I'm a collector and that my photos are detailed because I don't want to hide anything and that if photos are fuzzy or not detailed then most likely the seller is hiding something. Hopefully people read it and catch on

One surefire way to spot a fake is if the center horizontal line of the B in VDB is not angled upwards. Take a close look at a genuine sample of the designer initials.
