Weird looking date, too clear of a mintmark, wrong position.

Reverse is wrong too, too light. The VDB is the dead giveaway.

The VDB is too far to the left, meaning the left tip of the "B", if you draw a vertical line upward, will hit the "M" in America, when it should hit in the middle of "M" and "E".

Plus the surfaces are virtually scratch/nick free.



NOTE
Please leave this topic unlocked for the time being, at least 48 hours if you could or more. I'd like this thread to have some discussion. I feel like if the moderators continue to lock the threads, it'll be ignored and then finally fall to the bottom of the page since there's no more replies. If the threads aren't locked, this gives an opportunity to new accounts that just signed up within a week or so after this was posted, to be able to reply to this thread regardless of where it's at page wise on this forum, and learn about counterfeits. If they have questions, or don't see why this is a counterfeit, then those questions can be answered.

You can leave all the notes you want. You do not dictate how this forum is run.

The Seller has a large amount of slabbed coins for sale. Wonder why THIS particular coin isn't slabbed? I'd bet 10$ to a donut that the Seller knows 110% that this SVDB is counterfeit. He is too smart NOT to know!

You could always invite him here to this forum to discuss his coin and see why he thinks it is genuine.

THAT would keep the thread alive for a while!
