I concur this is a fake, but I am unaware of a definitive list of mint mark positions for the non-VDB 1909-S.

I was looking at it today and thought it was fake but didn't want to post it because I don't know much about fakes.

The mint mark is the wrong shape, and this is a Chinese counterfeit with the characteristic of an "open" O in GOD. I have 10-15 examples of this fake in my photo library.

Seller also has a 1922 (no D) and 1909-s vdb for sale along with an altered date 1914-d cent already flagged in another post.

The date/mint-mark position on the 1909-s vdb looks off. The mint mark is under the 1st nine in the date, touching a line drawn between the bottom of the two nines but slightly too far to the left for Obverse #3
