If real hard to believe it is being handled the way it is but then most of his coins are same way and it appears he has a lot of nice ones .....

Tough to believe he would have counterfeit with the stock and reputation he has ....

Jury still out but I'm leaning towards real!

Mint mark looks suspicious to me.

As for "reputation," the seller lists a Lincoln Cent as an Indian Head:

In the item specifics, Year is listed as 1911 and Mint Location as San Francisco.

What do you think of the slanted 1 in the date?

The 1 does look oddly slanted in the photo, but I'm not sure how much of that may be due to camera angle/position.

I'd be interested in seeing a better photo.

On second thought, slanted 1, nope, fake.

So I gave the image a little twist and shout in Photoshop in an attempt to straighten things out a bit:

Counterfeit-1909-S-VDB-Ends-Jan-27

The 1 still looks slanted, but maybe not so extreme. The seller really needs to post a better image.
