The first one seems to not match any of the S mintmark locations as I've seen posted. And this one is just obviously a counterfeit. The S mintmark is completely off and is too large. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1909s-VDB-1...em2803e27a56 Report this Post to the Staff

I'm wondering how they do it. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/23/2015 3:52 pm The first one looks like Die #3 to me, but the VDB is too blurry to contirm, so I would say possibly OK. The second one looks OK, probably Die #3 or #4, but pics are too small to be certain. Could not be sure of which coin to look at on the third link. Report this Post to the Staff
