This one just looks weird in general. Color is off.

This is a good fake. The mint mark is iffy, but the location of the period after the D in VDB is conclusive. It should be midway between the letters.

I can't imagine spending money like that on a coin that's not graded. Too risky.

If someone can take some pictures & post them to this thread for other users, that'd be great. I gotta go for now.

This is why I am afraid to buy or trade for a 1909S IHC or 77 or 09S vdb because of the fakes and they are getting better and They almost can con the experts. I have a few favorites I would love to own but, I guess we can get better also. I can see this one is not right and I feel bad for the buyer.
