The mintmark just looks too large and the font of the date and boldness is off, even though the pics are blurry. $400 BIN is a pretty low BIN for a coin that was authentic with that much detail, not to mention the very vague title, and vague description. The description almost screams that the seller knows it's fake, considering he/she is mentioning "a real s vdb" and "has all the key factors". I mean, how many people with 1909 S VDB's that were authentic would even say that?


Also, this one.

Mintmark is too close to date, and looks too small. I don't know what die this would match up to.

Bad pictures, crude rim, most likely purchased from the no-no website.

I love the story the first listing has at the end, the guy states his kid collects and that he has always wanted an s vdb but could not afford one.....the guy has one and sells it instead of giving it to his son lol.

That last one especially. How could anyone fall for that?
Just one thing: Did anyone else notice that the blurry "RD" coin sold for $400?

I can tell just by the toning it's a chinese fake. The second one, very hard to tell, it might be genuine. The tilted photos suck. Third coin, obvious chinese fake.

I wouldn't pay $5 for a common date coin based on a photograph that bad. Strange.
