Authenticity is in question with the wire-like rims and excessive deformation of all lettering and devices. The "S" looks wrong. I think it is counterfeit.

The S alone is so far off it leads to examining the rest of the coin with a critical eye. Agree with those saying  |

Thanks for the help everyone. That's unfortunate however, I agree as well after looking at another 1908 S that I have and handling both.

If you want confirmation, send your pics to Rick Snow at http://www.indiancent.com - he is the leading expert in the field, and I think he charges $5 for an opinion. |

It looks very suspect to me. The color is also wrong.

vf details scratched. no call on authenticity.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
