The date numerals bear no resemblance to the correct style for this series. See this ebay listing for comparison: 372417862364Edited by Coinfrog

 It's counterfeit. Besides the date being wrong, there are other differences on both the Obverse and Reverse. |

Wow... How can a person trust a coin dealer if great looking fakes are on the market? I was sure the coin was real. How can someone make a fake with such amazing detail? UNBELIEVABLE!

As mentioned the date font is all wrong there are raised blemishes all over it, the surface texture is wrong. Once you have a little experience something like this is laughable. |

I'm no expert on determining fakes. I believe some people do admire them in there collections.
Was curious if it is a fake, if it was 90% silver or not? Thanks, Doug.

To CCF! Right off the bat, I could easily tell that this was fake. Errers and Varietys.

All of their 1918-S's have that same funky looking date. $1.39 apiece.
