If we could get a close up picture of the 1909 penny, it could be the difference of several thousands of dollars in value. Edited by RoyCoinBoy 10/01/2017 3:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 10/01/2017 3:23 pm Ahh, found it. 1909S is a faker, 90% sure. Reverse seems wrong. Impression is too weak but is clear? brings a red flag up, another flag is left lower wheat stalk, what is that crap? A disparagy as that show like an underweight/thin planchet strike. Also looks "half" proof, partial strong square rim on both sides but unless reverse is rotated, doesn't match striking pattern/ability? Dollar, no idea, not my thang! Although I do like the bearded lady! Edited by Crazyb0 10/01/2017 3:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/01/2017 4:38 pm Agree VF-30 on the $5, would like to see a sharp close-up on the '09-S. Report this Post to the Staff
slowhands2018 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 10/01/2017 5:03 pm Hi Guys, Thanks for the info. I will get a closer shot of the 1909 tomorrow at my office. I am trying to find my receipt for it, I got it from ebay but it was years ago. I seem to remember it was from a big account like well over 3000 feedback I hope it wasn't a fake, but you can never be sure. Thats why I am here I guess! Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19957 Posts	Posted 10/01/2017 5:12 pm 09S questionable authenticity, get a good picture of the date and MM. The S appears to of the style used in Chinese fakes. If it is genuine, it has been harshly cleaned. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
