At least I don't think so. Look at the mintmark.

Doesn't look to me to match any of the legit mintmarks. Looks like italics with no serifs at all.

He still had that up!? Hasn't anyone contacted him yet? If he's disregarding us on such an obviously fake mm he deserves to get WOPR'D by bobby on this one

Reported to ebay (when seen in the other thread) and also ASQ'd the Seller about the coin.

No reply from the Seller and the listing is still active.

I've never seen a more obvious faked mintmark.

This is why I hate ebay now! Supposedly good high ranking members selling fakes. I will give them the benefit of the doubt and maybe since they do post so much they had some new person list this for them,otherwise this should have been taken down long ago!

The holiday weekend is over and people should be back to work at GSC. I would like to believe they will take this down themselves when they realize it's a fake.

To me the "B" in VDB is as much as a clue to it being a fake as the mintmark is.

And GreatSouthern is noted for offering questionable coins.
A 1909 S-VDB is too pricy a coin to be bought raw.

That is plausible dave. Let's give them the day guys and see what plays out. Enough messages have been sent to them to kill a claim ignorance or "slip through" so this is a good litmus test to show their ethical side or lack there of
